For universities

Turn your degrees into careers.

Univoc designs and runs work-integrated education with you — apprenticeship-embedded learning, aligned with the NEP 2020 framework, that puts your students into real work while they study. You keep the academics; we handle the employers, placements and tracking.

The pressure you’re under

Employability is the new measure of a degree.

Students, parents and accreditors all ask the same question now — does this lead to a job?

The employability gap

Graduates leave with knowledge but not always the job-ready skills and track record employers screen for.

Pressure to align with NEP 2020

Embedding work-integrated and apprenticeship-based learning is now an expectation — but standing it up is hard.

A weak industry pipeline

Without deep, active employer relationships, placements stay ad-hoc and hard to scale year on year.

The operational load

Running apprenticeships — sourcing roles, logistics, compliance, tracking — pulls faculty away from teaching.

Proving outcomes

Accreditors, rankings and parents want demonstrable placement and employability outcomes, not intentions.

Moving fast enough

Curriculum reform is slow; the expectation to show work-integrated learning is immediate.

How Univoc solves it

A work-integrated partner, end to end.

We design the program, bring the employers, and run the parts that would otherwise land on your team.

End-to-end WIE design

We design the work-integrated program with you and build it to fit your curriculum and calendar — not a template dropped on top.

NEP-aligned apprenticeship pathways

Apprenticeship-embedded learning designed aligned with the NEP 2020 framework, mapped to your credit structure. You make the academic calls.

An employer network that places

Our relationships across six sectors turn into real apprenticeships and placements for your students — not a one-off list.

Managed delivery & logistics

We source roles, run placement logistics, handle compliance and track outcomes — so your faculty stay focused on teaching.

Solves: Operational load

Outcome tracking you can show

We track participation and results through the program, giving you evidence to share with accreditors and stakeholders.

Solves: Proving outcomes

Earn-while-you-learn for students

Because the work is real, students can earn a stipend while they study — a tangible benefit you can offer applicants.

Solves: Student value
Why Univoc

An academic-aligned partner, not a vendor.

The same model that builds talent for industry makes us a serious partner for institutions.

Education-integrated by design

We don’t bolt placements onto the end of a degree — we build work into it. Education is the core of how Univoc operates, not an afterthought.

Government-aligned skilling

Our programs are designed aligned with national skilling schemes (NAPS, NATS, PMKVY, Skill India) and the NEP 2020 framework. We are an independent partner, not an empanelled or accredited body — the alignment keeps the learning relevant.

Foundation-backed mission

Univoc is the operating arm of Univoc Foundation, a Section 8 not-for-profit. We’re measured by the careers we build — an incentive aligned with your students’ outcomes, not just enrolment.

FAQ

University FAQ

Work-integrated education weaves real work into a degree, rather than leaving it to the end. Students study and work at the same time — building practical skills, a track record, and often a stipend — so they graduate genuinely employable. We design and run these programs with you.

Our programs are designed aligned with the NEP 2020 apprenticeship-embedded degree framework and national skilling programs, and built to map cleanly onto your credit and curriculum structure. Univoc is an independent partner — not a UGC, AICTE or government body, and not an accreditor — so the final academic and credit decisions remain entirely yours.

No — the goal is to integrate, not replace. We design the work-integrated component to fit alongside your existing syllabus and academic calendar, and adapt to how your programs already run rather than forcing a rebuild.

We bring an employer network across six sectors — manufacturing, logistics, retail, automotive, BFSI back-office and IT/ITeS. The specific employers and roles depend on your students’ disciplines and location, which we scope together. We will not name partners we are not yet able to cite.

We handle sourcing the apprenticeships and placements, the operational logistics, and tracking outcomes through the program — so you get visibility into participation and results without running the machinery yourself.

We take on the heavy operational load — employer sourcing, placement logistics, compliance and outcome tracking — so your faculty can stay focused on teaching. You stay in control of the academic side; we run the work-integration around it.

Work-integrated learning is designed to improve how ready your graduates are for real roles, which supports placement conversations. We do not publish placement figures we cannot yet verify — we will agree the outcomes we track with you up front and report against them honestly.

Let’s design a work-integrated partnership around your courses, your calendar, and your students’ outcomes.
