Digital transformation and AI: a roadmap for the FE sector

A new sector-led roadmap sets out how colleges can use digital and AI to improve outcomes for students, apprentices and staff, and to build a more responsive skills system, more closely aligned with employer needs and the realities of a modern economy.  

The new Digital Transformation Roadmap, developed through a strategic partnership between the Association of Colleges and Ufi VocTech Trust, will support every college, regardless of their starting point, to use digital technology and AI with clarity and confidence. 

Digital Insight Online Sessions

As part of our strategic partnership with Ufi VocTech Trust, three colleges have been selected to be Digital Insight Hubs. The Digital Insight Hub pilot programme aims to reduce digital inequalities by fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing. This term, each Digital Insight Hub will deliver an online session to showcase part of its digital transformation journey. 

Access the roadmap now. For more information about the sessions, and how to book, please visit: Digital Insight Hubs | Association of Colleges.
