A big thank you to Yusuf for leading this training session for FE Governors today. Governors have a vital role in both supporting and challenging the sector to deliver on the promise to make 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 an anti-racist nation. Proud of the work the sector is doing and the commitment shown today.

It’s critical that our communities and the organisations that support them get clarity over how the UK Shared Prosperity Fund will be replaced from 2026. @colegau.cymru www.bbc.com/news/article...

Thanks to all who attended the #Apprenticeships Fayre at the Senedd today. Grateful to the Minister for FE & HE Vikki Howells MS for speaking, Luke Fletcher MS & @joycewatson.org.uk for sponsoring, & @colegau.cymru & @ntfwwbl.bsky.social members for exhibiting. Massive kudos to the team 🙌

🚀 It’s #AWWales2025! This week, we’re celebrating the power of #Apprenticeships and the amazing opportunities they create 🎉 💡 Choosing an apprenticeship is a #GeniusDecision - earning, learning, and gaining real-world skills for the future! #ColegSirGar #ColegCeredigion

Early walk around Seattle ahead of the @colegau.cymru study visit to Seattle to look at the development and opportunities of AI. Visits formally start tomorrow so a chance to explore the city. Thank you to Taith for funding this important opportunity for the FE sector.

Good to get down to watch Wales take on England in a good quality and competitive game. Excellent representation from colleges across our two countries. Congratulations to England on a deserved win, but good prep for our women before they head to Italy in a few weeks.

Incredibly sad news. Mark was a brilliant leader of the college and was held in such high regard across the FE sector. Always kind and compassionate, and always focused on the best interests of learners and the staff he led. Thinking of his family and friends.

Amazing performance of Hamilton last night at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay. Highly, highly recommend going.

Another fantastic international story, funded by Taith - with staff and learners from Coleg Ceredigion partnering with norQuest College in Canada to work on a model for Health & Social Care www.taith.wales/story/coleg-... @colegaucymru.bsky.social @sianholleran.bsky.social @davehagendyk.bsky.social

A really good couple of days in Belfast with the Colleges Alliance. Always good to spend time with colleagues from across the UK and Ireland, as well as international partners. Lots to take back to Wales, especially strengthening 14-16, increasing non-university skills pathways and improving data.

The additional £10million in-year funding for colleges from Welsh Government is very welcome - and a recognition of the budget pressures facing the FE sector www.colleges.wales/en/blog/post...
