The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) is inviting applications from professionals and practitioners working within the Further Education (FE) and Skills sector to join its new Education, Quality and Standards (EQS) Committee.
As a committee of the ETF Board, the role of the EQS Committee is to oversee the quality and standards of the charity’s educational provision, including training and development, professional statuses and membership. The Committee’s main responsibilities are to oversee and advise the ETF Board on the quality of provision, outcomes and impact.
There are two vacancies available on the EQS Committee, and ETF is seeking to ensure that the voices of the FE and Skills practitioner and ETF’s professional membership community, SET (the Society for Education and Training), are heard. ETF is looking for candidates who have, or are, one or more of the following:

- An understanding and experience of quality and/or curriculum management in an FE and Skills setting (essential)
- Have achieved Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status or Advanced Teacher Status (ATS) through ETF and/or been awarded a Technical Teaching Fellowship (desirable)
- An understanding of governance in an FE and Skills and/or charity environment (desirable)
ETF’s CEO, Dr Katerina Kolyva said: “This is fantastic opportunity to help ensure we are delivering the highest quality and standards of education and training for the FE and Skills workforce, while also gaining non-executive governance experience on a charity committee. We look forward to hearing from applicants who are keen to represent their professional community and work with ETF to ensure we are meeting the sector’s needs and delivering impact through our work.”
