Improving pupils’ life chances via digital transformation

The Further Education sector serves over 2.2 million learners across the UK, yet faces unprecedented challenges:

real-terms funding cuts of 12% since 2019, critical skills shortages in key industries, and the urgency to integrate AI and digital technologies into learning delivery.

 

With major curriculum and assessment reforms launching in September 2025, FE leaders need strategic clarity, practical solutions, and collaborative partnerships more than ever.

 

The Further Education Partnership Network is an exclusive one-day event where senior FE leaders gain the strategic perspective and actionable tools needed to navigate this transformation successfully. This isn’t another conference – it’s where sector pioneers collaborate to shape the future of Further Education.

What You’ll Achieve

Through focused keynotes, interactive case study sessions, and solution-building workshops, you’ll leave with:

  • Strategic roadmaps for implementing AI and emerging technologies in your curriculum
  • Proven frameworks for enhancing student engagement and mental health support
  • Partnership models that align curriculum delivery with employer demands and local economic needs
  • Leadership strategies for building resilient, inclusive teams during sector-wide change
Our expert-led sessions tackle the most pressing challenges facing FE leadership:
  • AI Integration Workshop: Practical implementation strategies from institutions already embedding AI across vocational programmes
  • Funding Maximisation Panel: How three colleges increased their revenue streams by 18% through strategic partnerships
  • Student Success Deep-Dive: Data-driven approaches to improving retention rates and learner outcomes
  • Workforce Resilience Masterclass: Building adaptive leadership cultures that thrive during uncertainty
