Chairs Development Programme (Strand 2) (Code: C1675)

Governance
Back

A new programme of interactive and engaging development responding to recent research conducted with FE and Sixth Form College Chairs. The study identified key elements which Chairs felt would enable them to deliver greater impact in this voluntary but highly demanding role. 

The programme will be delivered by two highly experienced former College Group CEOs, Amanda Melton CBE and Dame Sally Dicketts. Since leaving their CEO roles, on behalf of ETF, they have been examining the potential of Chair and Board in securing the very best experience for students/ stakeholders.
