HE / FE Collaborative Conversations
The workshop set about to build upon networks amongst Business Development staff and raise their awareness of respective knowhow and expertise, giving attendees a few practical tips and insights to take away with them.
“Colleges and universities sit at the heart of their communities and with our Business Development teams and we all share a common purpose of helping to ensure that local business can access high-quality and relevant support. The Collaborative Conversations workshop was a great way to take some time out of our busy roles and speak to our colleagues in other colleges and universities to compare how we go about engaging with local businesses. Its also provided me with a few new contacts that I hope to develop.” Alan Reid, Innovation Manager, Northern Regional College
Its has been great to meet so many of the Business Development Staff across the colleges, this is not something that I have the opportunity to do often, but is has been really valuable and I am looking forward to building on these networks and hopefully hosting the next workshop at our Belfast Campus.
