FE colleges have changed hugely since 'incorporation' in 1992/3. Most are in fact significant multi-million pound businesses in their own right.
Whilst education and training provision is rightly at the core of what FE colleges do, KFE's colleges are all prime examples of multi-facetted organisations. Within each of our colleges there's a wide range of services and operations that have been established and developed to support our local-communities and businesses, whilst often making college life better and more accessible for our students and staff too.
The KFE Services page provides links to services delivered by each of our colleges. Some operate as separate businesses and others are linked ventures. In all cases they provide opportunities for student engagement and often employment with many also open to local communities.

East Kent Colleges Group is pleased to present the Digital Skills and Innovation in Care Conference.
The conference is funded through the LSIF, as part of the college's care focused project, which in turn is one of four LSIF funded projects which have attracted £5m to Kent and Medway through the colleges.
The LSIF projects complement the priorities detailed in the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce Local Skills Improvement Plan.
We hope you will join the conference delegation and participate in discovering more about understanding the use of digital technologies which are delivering innovative and effective change in the care sector.
