NFEC ARE SUPPORTING THE WORLD SKILLS UK COMPETITION

 

NFEC are pleased to announce their support and involvement with the UK and World Skills Olympics.

It is essential to keep UK PLC on the map of development on the world stage and we are confident our member organisations will play a key part.
 
It is clear to NFEC that we should support the development of skilled students within the UK and have our young talent formally recognised on a world stage. We encourage all NFEC members to encourage learners to take part.

NFEC YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL PARTNER

NFEC Regional Change - powerful and informed Local National Partners

A strong regional representation is core to the services of NFEC. Understanding and responding to local needs and ensuring all our members are continually updated on best practice, curriculum support and receive our guidance through workshops and consultancy services is our priority for members.

NFEC is experiencing growth in membership. To manage this we are currently reviewing our support to members by increasing the NFEC regional support centres around the UK. We are presently considering a number of solutions and will update all our members during the coming months on developments. Updates will be made available on this website and NFEC Smart.

Up to 12 NEW regional centres are planned across the UK and now include Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales as well as a new regional mp for England based on existing RDA boundaries.
