This is an interim update about the objective of offering presentations to try to get students and apprentices at FE college's to consider membership of the IET and give them the opportunities all our members have to use IET's resources.For some time now, I have  been trying to persuade FE Colleges in the Sheffield City Region to get their students and apprentices to seriously consider becoming members of the IET.

Working with Adam Parnell our Professional Registration Account Manager we have carried out during 2019 / 20/ & 21 presentations to Sheffield, Chesterfield and currently Barnsley Colleges,  that cover the complete overview of the IET and its resources and a talk about the SYLN, covering who we are, both our committee structures and what we strive to do locally.


The presentations to Chesterfield and Barnsley have been done online however with Sheffield college in 2019 we had the opportunity to have face to face meetings.

Following initial meetings, the Colleges advised they have separate cohorts of students and apprentices on their courses, who they feel should listen to what we have to offer, so we've offered 2/3 separate presentations to each college accordingly at times when they are available.


Both Doncaster and Rotherham have  also shown a positive interest, so we still need to set these up in due course.
