Sector Engagement

We engage colleges and influence technology policy through lobbying and advocacy. We do this by representing colleges' interests at national and regional levels and working with specialised networks and groups.

We also produce a bi-monthly Briefing summarising recent activity and news of interest to colleges.

Sector Representation

We engage with colleges through consultative groups and advisory boards. We also respond to specific request from Government and suppliers, and provide AoC's Public Affairs and Communications team with briefings for MPs and Select Committees.
