The Education & Training Foundation (ETF) and Association of Colleges (AoC) have been commissioned by the Department for Education (DfE) to design and deliver a framework of learning and development for the governance professionals of FE and Sixth Form college governing bodies.
There has been little or no professional or strategic development for clerks within the FE sector since the demise of the FE Clerks Qualification – nearly 10 years ago. The role of an effective governance professional has expanded to technical adviser and strategic enabler, a critical role in meeting the administrative and procedural requirements of Boards and enabling efficient, effective discussion and decision making.
This is a new programme that aims to raise the profile of this role and this change in emphasis. To support this shift, we are currently recruiting in two strands to support governance professionals at all levels.
