FE White Paper Group
A new Association of Colleges 'Skills for Jobs' White Paper Policy Group has been formed to shape our response to the White Paper – a once in a decade opportunity to influence the future of the further education sector.
The Skills for Jobs White Paper Policy Group, led by AoC President, Corrienne Peasgood, is made up primarily of chairs and members of existing AoC Policy Groups, ensuring that there is consistency and a chance for as many member colleges as possible to feed into our work on the White Paper. There is also representation from every region of the country. The group will meet regularly, and updates will be shared with AoC members on progress to date.
For more information, contact policy@aoc.co.uk.
