Colleges: Tripartite Alignment Group

Overview

The group provides strategic direction on the pressures and opportunities facing colleges. It was initially intended as a short-term working group as per the terms of reference. The group will extend its duration due to the complex nature of issues discussed and for as long as it remains beneficial to all parties.

The Minister for Higher Education, Further Education and Veterans attends and/or chairs some meetings of the group.
