Policy in the post secondary education landscape has attempted to bring Further (FE) and Higher Education (HE) together into a single Tertiary Sector that encompasses education and training, once seen as two distinct areas. The post-16 landscape can be difficult to navigate for young people, is not well understood by employers, and only in a few instances do institutions from the various parts of the system work together in any symbiotic and meaningful way.
For this project we will convene Knowledge Exchange (KE) workshops that will address the lacuna in this broader understanding of tertiary education. Crucially, it will draw key policy, employer, and academic stakeholders together into a partnership network to collaboratively map out the space and key issues from different stakeholder perspectives.
