As we focus efforts to increase the UK’s innovation activity, what is the role of further education colleges (FECs) in increasing business innovation? To explore this, Innovate UK commissioned the Innovation Caucus in partnership with:
- Gatsby Foundation
- Department for Education
- BEIS.
The ‘rethinking the role of FECs in innovation’ report was published this month. It explores the ways in which FECs are developing their offer to support businesses to innovate alongside their established role as education providers.
For a brief overview of the reports findings and next steps, see the new Innovate UK blog by Debbie Johnson (Lead Specialist for Research, Innovate UK) Tim Vorley (Convenor of the Innovation Caucus).
