- Act as a critical friend to the College in appraising and influencing the current and future provision.
- Provide an independent insight into market trends.
- Act as a sounding board for new ideas and services.
- Act in an advisory role to communicate the employers’ message to College employees.
- Help the College with marketing issues, website design feedback, preparation for the new qualification structure and contribute to the College’s self-assessment process.
