The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) is delighted to announce the award of a contract – up to the value of £9.55m – from the Department for Education (DfE) to deliver an enhanced programme of support to strengthen leadership and governance capability and capacity within the FE sector in England until 2025.
This contract award builds on the ETF’s highly successful leadership and governance programmes that since 2017, have been helping to build a cadre of experienced leaders and governors for the sector. These include the highly respected Further Education Strategic Leadership and Preparing for CEO Programmes. The ETF, alongside our partners including the Association of Colleges (AoC), will lead the development of a suite of programmes to support the pipeline of future leaders and governors for the FE and Training sector.
The ETF, working in partnership with the sector, will develop new, and build on its existing portfolio of, leadership programmes to support the career progression of individuals from aspiring to strategic leaders. In addition, the updated governance offer, aimed at board chairs, governors – including staff and student governors – and governance professionals, will strengthen governance expertise and skills within the sector. The programme will be accessible on a national basis, with a mix of face-to-face and online delivery.
