SKEIN FE
CUREE, in collaboration with 157 Group (now the Collab Group) and supported by LSIS, piloted a system for evaluating and fine tuning these processes in FE colleges. Based in international research and already proven in schools, the SKEIN FE service was co-developed with Derby College, piloted in York and Cornwall Colleges and tested in collaboration with many other 157 Group members. The fully adapted service is available to colleges.
