Resources
On this page, you will find examples of good practice and outcomes from current and completed projects that we have run:
Youth Social Action Programme - phase two
Phase 2 of the Youth Social Action project provided an opportunity for more young people to be engaged in social action initiatives. Building on the achievements of Phase 1, participants gained meaningful experiences and contributed to a network of social change within their respective colleges. Case Study resources from the apprentice, mentor or ambassador programmes can be found here.
T Level Resource Improvement Projects (TRIPs)
TRIPs are an opportunity for providers and other stakeholders to work together to produce resources that will support the planning and delivery of T Levels.
TRIPs are suitable for teachers, managers, and specialist staff and can also benefit from the involvement of wider stakeholders such as employers, Awarding Organisations and Higher Education Institutions.
TRIPs are available as pre-agreed projects that will lead to the development of resources to support teaching, learning, and assessment for T Levels.
Resources
We have a wide range of T Level resources created from previous TRIPs, including lesson plans, assessment materials, schemes of learning, and more. Further TRIP resources will be added once this round of projects have completed (June/ July 2025)
Select the subjects below to find resources created to support your T Level preparation and delivery.
ETF Mental Health and Wellbeing Resources Project
The ETF mental health and wellbeing project was aimed at supporting all leaders in the further education (FE) and skills sector, from January 2023 to March 2025. The project aimed to provide resources and a space for leaders in FE and skills to lead a culture change to embed mental health and wellbeing across their organisation.
Throughout the project a series of resources, blogs, webinars and podcasts were developed, focused on a variety of key topics related to mental health in the FE and skills sector. Resources have been developed by several organisations including Education Support, The Charlie Waller Trust, Anna Freud and Natspec, while perspectives and practical tips from current FE and skills leaders and specialist mental health organisations were captured through webinars, blogs and podcasts.
Links to all the resources can be found on this webpage: ETF mental health and wellbeing project | Association of Colleges.
Promoting Effective Careers Practice
AoC is working with The Careers and Enterprise Company to provide resources, hot topic webinars, a national strategic network group and information for the leaders, governors and careers guidance professionals in the FE sector to help support colleges in their careers guidance offer.
Please find a link to our website page which hosts many different resource types such as case studies, guides, webinar recordings.
Creating a Greener London – Sustainable Construction Skills
This project, delivered with support from JP Morgan Chase, is a programme that aims to provide future generations in London with the skills and knowledge necessary for green jobs in the building and home sector. It focuses on developing green career pathways at Level 2 and above through partnerships between further education colleges and employers, and co-designing and delivering green skills training alongside existing Level 2 qualifications.
We have developed a resource directory which supports colleges when planning and delivering Green Skills for construction related courses. The contents contain resources for staff to plan, deliver and capture evidence of knowledge, skills and behaviour of the student journey. There is also a valuable planning tool for staff to plan their CPD for upskilling in Green Skills.
Leadership of LSIPs
AoC and the Gatsby Foundation worked with trailblazer colleges who had been successful in Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) and Strategic Development Fund Pilots (SDFs) to share good practice and lessons learnt.
We published two resources, a thought leadership article and a checklist, prepared by Stone King LLP. Entitled Thinking about successful college collaboration, the resources are complementary and have been prepared to help colleges, their governing bodies and leaders explore and implement successful collaboration.
The following video case studies were also created as part of this project - click on a name to hear more from a colleague:
