The Further Education Capital Transformation Programme (FECTP) delivers the governments 1.5 billion commitment?to upgrade the estate of FE colleges and designated institutions in England. High quality buildings and facilities are important for colleges in enabling their students to gain the skills they need to progress and in helping the economy grow.
We are providing funding of up to 405 million to support 62 colleges and designated institutions to:
- upgrade buildings in need of improvement and modernisation
- create high quality learning environments with improved energy efficiency and reduced maintenance
- invest in new industrial training facilities designed to support young people to develop a range of skills in high priority and high value sectors
- refurbish and upgrade teaching facilities in STEM subjects
As referenced in the FECTP stage 1 published guidance, the FECTP has also provided support, outside of the bidding process, for a small number of colleges which were involved with the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) Specialist Restructuring Team.
