Every day, educators and leaders within the Further Education (FE) and skills sector inspire curiosity, drive progress, and empower learners to achieve their full potential.

The ETF champions the vital role of the FE and skills workforce. In partnership, we drive professionalism by setting the standards for teaching and leadership quality across the sector. We support educators with a continuous professional development pathway throughout their careers, champion inclusion, and enable sector-wide change. Through these efforts, we create a thriving FE and skills sector, transforming lives and opportunities for learners aged 14 and above.

Our work is driven by four strategic goals that align everything we do.
