From 17-19 November, the Association of Colleges (AoC) held its annual conference and exhibition at the ICC Birmingham. IOEE were thrilled to be able to exhibit this year and Sarah Trouten, CEO of IOEE, announced the launch of our fantastic collaboration with TONI&GUY – Creating Enterprise, a completely new learning programme designed specifically for budding entrepreneurs operating in the creative industries.

Sarah said:

“I really can’t think of a better event at which to launch Creating Enterprise. The AoC’s annual conference brings together those in Further Education with the strongest drive and determination to offer students the very best in learning experiences. For me, Creating Enterprise’s design as a learning programme, as well as its broad objectives correspond perfectly with those of these professionals championing the UK’s colleges.”

Indeed, news of the IOEE and TONI&GUY project was well received by those attending the event, which was an enlightening and varied mix of keynote speeches, casual breakout sessions, debate and networking.
