Business Talent
Business Talent will encourage Further Education (FE) training and skills providers to recruit talented leaders from outside the FE sector to senior management positions within FE. Business Talent has been developed in consultation with the FE sector, and will provide practical support to help FE providers to attract and retain successful private and public sector senior managers.
Business Talent grew from Sir Andrew Foster's recommendations, which stressed the necessity of improving management and leadership in FE. The Foster Report, Leitch Review of Skills and FE White Paper all emphasised the importance of effective management and leadership in building successful FE and developing the skills of the UK workforce.
Business Talent will seek to inspire a culture change within FE senior management recruitment that encourages providers to consider more candidates from outside the sector when recruiting to these roles and recognise the positive impact such individuals could have on their organisation. It provides a toolkit to support you if you are interested in recruiting senior public and private sector managers for senior roles in further education.
