How we support our members

We secure funding from government agencies and other organisations to deliver a range of projects which support the sector. Projects vary in duration, scale and topic but have included:

  • quality improvement initiatives
  • college workforce support
  • development programmes
  • research pieces
  • capacity building developments
  • international enterprises.

Project outcomes are disseminated to the sector, ensuring good practice is shared and brought together. These help to raise the profile of FE, prepare colleges for government changes and ensure better outcomes for students. A large majority of our projects offer opportunities of funding and involvement for colleges.
