Dr. Sinclair has been focused on archaeology and contemporary society and a vocal proponent for some time. He’s a very popular lecturer at the University of Liverpool.
This reminds me of the Polytechnic. There is a similar band of university in the States called the Community College. The college often functions as a filter for students to enable them to go on to mainstream universities, or at some colleges take vocational training.

Discussions with individuals and comments appearing in some posts on the BARJ forums seem to indicate the will is there. Perhaps what is missing is a collection of influential individuals (unit directors, academic subject directors) etc. geared to working toward a common purpose i.e. developing a method for preparing graduates for employment in entry level commercial archaeology.
The NVQ…if Chez is reading this post, perhaps he can reiterate why he felt this was unfeasible.
