Ambitious Futures was the sector’s graduate trainee scheme for future leaders which was established in 2012 by the AHUA.  The management of the scheme was put out to tender in 2015 and the contract awarded to the University of Nottingham.  Unfortunately, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the scheme closed to new entrants in 2020.  It is hoped that it will be revived at some point when institutions are in a better position to take on trainees.

We wish all our past and current trainees all the very best in their future careers in this amazing sector.
