Cambridge Regional College joins the prestigious College Collective best practice group

Cambridge Regional College joins over twenty of the best and most forward-thinking colleges from across the country in the prestigious College Collective; a best practice community and sector-led consultancy approach to sharing expertise and insights within further education for the benefit of students and employers.

The Collective, operated by the Association of Colleges, pools insights and knowledge through recognising and sharing talented practitioners who are trained and accredited as AoC Associate Experts. CRC will have three experts taking part around creative industries management, engineering management and English and maths management.

Mark Robertson, Principal and Chief Executive, CRC said: “The further education sector is vital for the prosperity of the country and as an enabler of social mobility and the expertise that exists in the sector is second to none. We are excited to be able to provide experts to share insights and learning from CRC and in turn benefit from expertise from fellow FE innovators across the sector.”

The Collective’s aim is to retain and develop consultant talent and expertise within colleges for the benefit of the sector at large and their communities. The colleges will be sharing managers and insights to share practice and thinking on a wide range of self-identified needs and expertise. These include commercial development, innovative pedagogy and curriculum development and leadership.

Mark Robertson, Principal and Chief Executive, continued: ”As an anchor institution in the East of England, Cambridge Regional College is proud and delighted to have been invited to join a small group of the best colleges in the land, working collaboratively together to  develop and share ideas and to help to make our students’ time with us even more valuable as they develop the skills they need for their careers.”
