Description
I am an Employer Engagement representative at South Cheshire College in Crewe. I also lecture in Computing and I am a course team leader for the BTEC National Diploma in IT. The college has a team of Employer Engagement representatives covering all the subject areas. We are charged with working with local employers in a number of ways.
These include curriculum development, input from employers into courses, working with students on tutorial matters. Further details can be found at this link
The college is also a training provider and is able to provide a range of training for your employees.
Before joining the College I held a variety of positions in schools and colleges as well as being part of the advisory team for Walsall LEA. I have worked in industry.
The KISS group provides me, as Employer Engagement representative, with a forum to engage with local employers and to share my knowledge and experience of the educational world. It is a very valuable sounding board for raising issues.
In addition it has enabled me to meet some very nice people!
