College staff and training providers in a regional network meeting

Partners and supporters

Get in front of the people shaping engineering education.

NFEC brings engineering colleges and training providers together across twelve regional networks. If you sell to, recruit from or work alongside that sector, a partnership is a standing invitation into the room where it meets.

Talk to us

Tell us who you are trying to reach and we will put a package together around it. Partnerships are built to fit, not bought off a shelf.

Why partner with NFEC

Reach the people who decide

Our members are principals, heads of engineering, curriculum leads and quality managers. The people who specify equipment, choose awarding bodies and sign off budgets.

Arrive introduced, not cold

A partnership puts you in the room at regional meetings and national events, with the Chair making the introduction rather than a gatekeeper blocking it.

Support something worth supporting

Every partnership funds the seminars, resources and regional networks that raise standards in engineering education. Your support is visible and it is useful.

Ways to work together

Four routes in. Most partners combine two or three, and we are happy to build something that does not appear on this list.

Annual Partner

A year-round relationship across the whole federation.

  • Presence at national and regional events
  • Partner profile in the member directory
  • Named in member newsletters through the year
  • An introduction to every regional Chair

Event Sponsor

Back a seminar, a dissemination event or the annual conference.

  • Your name on the event and its materials
  • Speaking or demonstration slot where it fits the programme
  • Delegate list access in line with data protection
  • Follow-up through the member newsletter

Regional Network Sponsor

Support one region, or a handful, where your market actually is.

  • Sponsor a named regional network for the year
  • Attend that region's meetings as a partner
  • Work directly with the regional Chair and Deputy
  • A route in that does not start with a cold call

Content and Resource Collaboration

Put your expertise into the resource library members actually use.

  • Co-produce toolkits, guidance or technical briefings
  • Reviewed by the national office before publication
  • Credited to your organisation
  • Useful first, promotional second

Twelve regional networks. One conversation.

Rather than working a region at a time, a partnership reaches all of them through the national office, the regional Chairs and the member platform.
