Coleg Gwent will be working with all the other further education colleges in Wales to look at the impact of austerity measures on provision, and in particular the role of governors in fostering a culture of enterprise and innovation.
EMFEC, a membership organisation of 26 FE, land-based and sixth form colleges in the East Midlands of England, has received funding to develop new models of leadership through innovative governance.
The University of Hull’s project, Leadership for Learning—Ethical Practice, aims to develop a practical understanding of behaviours and approaches adopted by ethical leaders in FE.
Working Well, a private sector company that specialises in organisational development, will work with FETL on developing a series of strategic seminars and thinkpieces that focus on systems thinking and its applicability to UK FE and Skills.
