Discussions are underway for the Association of Employment and Learning Providers to return as co-owners of the Education and Training Foundation – four years after all ties were cut.
AELP dramatically walked away from the ETF in 2018 after claiming the foundation was ignoring independent training providers and “no longer an organisation run by the FE sector for the sector”.
Two AELP trustees resigned from the ETF’s board, leaving the Association of Colleges and adult community education body Holex as the foundation’s remaining part-owners.
David Hughes, the AoC’s chief executive, revealed at today’s AELP national conference that he is now working with the AELP to return as ETF members to increase collaboration in the sector.
