Jisc is proud once again to sponsor the AoC Beacon Award for innovative use of digital technology across the FE and skills sector.

We are delighted to support this award which is so pivotal to our collective future. From Greta Thunberg to David Attenborough the siren cries to implement urgent climate action have never been louder. Colleges and most importantly their students are playing a significant role in supporting the transition to greener economies and the ‘green jobs’ that will underpin sustainable development in the decades ahead. Our team are looking forward to finding out more about the inspirational work being undertaken in colleges across the country.
