Welcome to The College Alliance
About us
Established in 2017, The College Alliance is a collaborative network that brings together college Principals and Chief Executives from across England, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Wales and their college membership bodies, alongside senior government officials from the national governments and funding bodies, and other sector partners. Aligned with the vision set forth by the Independent Commission on the College of the Future, we are committed to championing the "reimagining" of colleges over the next decade.
Our mission
Sharing lessons and best practice
Across the different national systems, we serve as a forum for discussions on the post 16 education and skills systems across the UK and Republic of Ireland, supporting learnings from the diverse approaches.
Providing a space for peer exchange
We bring together leaders from across the different national systems, from wider government and the wider sector - and we seek to galvanise further work between leaders, across national boundaries.
Supporting thought leadership
We are committed to supporting thought leadership through the commissioning of policy work and research which aids strategic development.
Encouraging long-term thinking
We convene sector leaders to lead long-term thinking – reflecting on what we need from our post 16 education and skills system, as we look at the challenges and changes we face nationally, and internationally.
College of the future
At a time when seismic shifts are
happening across the UK - from demographic change and the climate
crisis, to technological revolution, and the changing demands of the
labour market - these are important questions. The pandemic has
accelerated the need for change. It is clear that colleges can and must
be at the heart of meeting these challenges.
Commissioned by The
College
Alliance in 2019 - The Independent Commission on the College of the
Future was set up to answer two simple but fundamental questions:
- What do we want and need from colleges in 10 years’ time?
- What changes are needed in order to achieve this?
