While we all do wildly different things in our roles we are held together by our values to improve not only ourselves but our institutions for those around us. However, doing this by yourself can be difficult, if not lonely. AHEP is here to not only give you the skills to make a difference, but also the community to support you along your crazy adventure as a HE professional.

AHEP has been pivotal in my career journey - providing support, training and most crucially, networking. By joining AHEP, professionals within the sector can meet like minded people and share best practice. The informal mentoring and connections I have made through AHEP has been invaluable to me.
