Meeting current and future needs
New CEO of The Bedford College Group Yiannis Koursis said:
“As one of the leading FE College providers of apprenticeships in the UK and the South East Region, our programmes are informed by Labour Market Intelligence and we work with nearly 1,000 businesses to ensure our offer is meeting current and future needs.
“Our relationship with businesses is one of partnership and support. We pride ourselves in not only being a provider of workforce development programmes and apprenticeships, but we also involve the business world in helping us design and co-deliver important elements of our curricula.
“Through our robust Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance, we ensure all young people and adults are aware of the huge career potential and future life opportunities available to them through studying technical qualifications and especially the value of T Levels and Apprenticeships.
“At a national level myself and Executive Director of Apprenticeships Debbie Houghton joined a meeting at No 10 to discuss how FE Colleges promote the value of apprenticeships and technical education and explored what we more we could be doing to ensure the UK achieves its vision.”
