Think Further
Think Further is a thought-leadership initiative created by the Association of Colleges (AoC) in partnership with NCFE.
Think Further offers a platform for the FE sector to provide deep insight and informed thought leadership on a range of topics. It brings together research-led think pieces and blogs steeped in the experience and expertise of the further education and skills sector. Its authors are true thought leaders – from college principals to leading academics and the sector’s closest partners.
This is an opportunity to provide a unique platform for some of the most experienced and expert people in the sector. Thanks to our partnership with the Association of Colleges, we can facilitate think pieces and thought leadership from across the further education and skills sector that will spark ideas, driving improvements and innovation through collaboration and knowledge sharing.
