Harlow Consulting is carrying out research on behalf of CITB, to explore FE in construction, specifically in relation to its role in progressing learners into a construction sector career, relevance to employer needs and challenges and opportunities for FE institutions.

We are keen to hear directly from FE stakeholders about what is working well so that best practices can be captured and understood, and where barriers are being encountered, how these might be overcome. On that basis, we are very grateful to BACH for convening a webinar to allow us to put a number of questions on this topic to members able to attend the session.

The webinar will be chaired by Dave Wilkins. It is an open forum where researchers will pose a number of questions to participants. The discussion points are attached with room for your thoughts.

Harlow Consulting is carrying are also examining a number of other countries to look at their approach to the design and delivery of FE (or equivalent) for construction to identify what can be learned from other nations.

The information and data Harlow Consulting gather will be analysed and reported to CITB – with the intention of providing CITB with robust evidence to help them identify what kinds of actions should or could be taken to support construction sector FE by CITB. This could be in partnership with other organisations or by seeking to influence change in other ways.
