About the Association of Colleges

At the heart of every community should be a strong and successful college, supporting students, delivering skills, transforming communities, promoting social justice, working with employers, and growing the economy.

Association of Colleges is the national voice for further education, sixth form, tertiary and specialist colleges in England. We are a not-for-profit membership organisation established by colleges, for colleges. Our members make up almost 95% of the sector - transforming 2.2 million lives each year. Acting as the collective voice, we represent and promote the interests of colleges, and provide our members with high-quality professional support services, including training, events and recruitment

The AoC group also includes: AoC Services - supporting all colleges to be great colleges by delivering high quality and cost-effective further education events, training and development, executive recruitment, interim management and strategic consultancy services; AoC Jobs - the first and only stop for anybody looking for a new job in further education; AoC Sport - leading the development of sport and physical activity in 16+ education; and AoC Charitable Trust - promoting the very best in FE with some of the biggest and most respected awards in education, including the AoC Beacon Awards, AoC Gold Awards, and Student of the Year.

About the AoC Workforce Team

The Workforce Team is a member focused team and is made up of three departments:
Employment Advisory Services, Industrial Relations and Recruitment & Consultancy.

Our main ‘member customers’ are the college’s HR teams (though we also work closely with other college departments and senior leaders) and our aim is to provide members with a seamless support and resources in relation to the sector’s workforce related short and long
- term needs and issues.

A typical day

The content of a working day will be very varied and made up of a range of activities and priorities may change throughout the day. A typical day may involve: answering immediate and wide-ranging queries, researching more deeply into an issue (that will have a potential impact on members or has been raised by a member), analysing data, arranging meetings (we support strategic member ‘Groups’ that meet formally and organise agendas, papers and guest speakers), attending, contributing to and sometimes taking notes for meetings that we have been organised or invited to, talking with representatives of external organisations, and keeping abreast of current issues for example by attending a webinar.
