Higher Education in Further Education: Reclaiming the Future Two Launch Conferences Tuesday 1 April 2003 Grange City Hotel, Coopers Row, London EC3N Wednesday 9 April 2003 Hilton Leeds City, Neville Street, Leeds, LS1 The Higher Education in Further Education Training and Support Programme has now able to publish the fruits of our work about the provision of HE in FE Colleges and to provide commentary on the issues involved, as well as offering good practice advice for both senior managers and practitioners in FE Colleges and HE Institutions. This has involved considerable consultation and discussion with both FE Colleges and HE Institutions as well as with the organisations that represent their interests at regional and national levels. Through two national conferences we will launch the materials produced by the HE in FE Training and Support Programme. The aims of each conference will be to: · disseminate the good practice guidance materials produced by the HE in FE Training and Support Programme. These will be available free to all conference delegates · provide an opportunity to celebrate HE provision in FE Colleges · discuss the implications of the Government’s white paper in relation to HE in FE · contribute to HEFCE thinking on HE in FE in its strategic planning. The conferences will also create the opportunity to advance our ideas to support local networks for practitioners and to establish a dedicated web site for HE in FE. The events are free of charge and every delegate will receive a copy of the good practice guidance materials. These events will be of interest to HE managers, principals, assistant and vice principals of FE Colleges, teaching and support staff in FE, teaching and support staff in HE Institutions.
