CFE preparing to train tomorrow's workforce
THE College of Further Education is positioning itself to provide the skills for the workforce of the future, its chief executive and principal has said.
Saboohi Famili, pictured, was speaking at this month's Chamber of Commerce lunch and said the college had undergone a period of review which was now coming to an end.
'We have a £7.8m.-a-year budget and teach over 5,000 students a year, which is the full-time equivalent of 1,200 students, the same as combining St Sampson's and Les Beaucamps high schools.
'We have 200 members of staff and teach everything from horticulture to IT and engineering. We are asking businesses what they want and what skills they want the workforce to have, what are the things that are being planned, so we can provide the workforce for your business.'
