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.

This special landing page has been developed to promote the work KFE and its partner colleges are undertaking with NHS and other health and care organisations across the county.
KFE's Health & Care partnerships page
KFE colleges have a long history of working with a wide range of NHS organisations and funded services in the health and care sector locally. In November 2022 KFE signed an MoU with NHS Kent and Medway ICB.
Building on this, KFE has established an NHS Strategic Work-stream Group and is working to an annual plan aimed at supporting the requirements of NHS and care sector employers broadly, but particularly around workforce development and related education and skills solutions.
We aim to improve the interface between the NHS funded health and care sector and our FE colleges. This includes making our students and staff aware of and better able to engage with the A to Z of health and care clinical and support role careers, as well as work experience or apprenticeship opportunities and through the new NHS Reserve.

FE Provision Mapping
We have mapped our FE health, care and other sector route provision and are working with NHS organisations to map clear pathways to work.
Connecting with Health & Care Partnerships
Our colleges have started linking to the 4 new HCPs across the county to ensure FE can respond to local employer needs, link our learners to careers and develop our curriculum relevance. The conference helped link college and health and care delegates as well as providing chance to collectively participate in the various workshops, network and realise collaborative opportunities.
Skills Development Fund
We are working with NHS Kent & Medway to improve career pathway information using immersive technologies.
On 16th May 2023 KFE and our NHS partners will launch the new Kent & Medway Health and Care Academy.
This event will also include presentations on our immersive learning tech work with the NHS as well as celebration of the winning logo design for the new Academy designed by one of our graphic design students as part of KFE4Skills23 held in March.
