Yet, finding a way to connect with others, who understand the sector and the complexity of the challenges you face, can often feel like an impossible task. That’s why we’ve created the FE HR Hub.

What Our Members Say
Take a look at some of the reasons our members keep coming back each month:
“Having the opportunity to discuss as a group the key issues facing us in our field, to hear knowledgeable speakers on those issues and then to come away with a clear plan (and a handy set of slides!) is invaluable. It has also been useful for the next generation of HR in my team and their learning.”
“The FE HR Breakfast Club is a great way of connecting with other HR professionals within the industry from across the whole of the UK.
I have found the group to be very collaborative, sharing ideas and best practice.”
“I’ve worked in HR for over 13 years, by attending the Breakfast Club, I either learn something new, have my knowledge reaffirmed or I get reassurance that others are experiencing similar issues and it creates the space to discuss and explore our different approaches and solutions with fellow peers.”

FE HR in Practice
Theory is great, but sometimes the best inspiration comes from seeing HR at work in practice. By sharing case studies from other FE institutions, you can start to see how to apply the same ideas in your college.
Make your own job easier. Read how other colleges have addressed specific issues and get thoughts on what else you may want to consider for your own project.
We hope you can either reproduce the ideas or use them to develop your own solutions.
