One of the government’s top skills civil servants is set to leave after more than 20 years in the Department for Education.

Kirsty Evans will soon leave her current role as the DfE’s director of post-16 regions and FE provider oversight to join the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB).

Her exact departure date has not yet been confirmed but FE Week understands it will be after March.

It marks the latest in a string of well-known and high-ranking skills civil servants to leave the DfE and Education and Skills Funding Agency in recent years. Other high-profile departures include Keith Smith, Peter Mucklow and Paul Kett.
