We’re delighted to announce the return of the Natspec Innovation Awards for 2025.
We’re on the hunt for innovative practice in specialist further education colleges. Across eight categories, we want to hear about projects doing something new with real impact. We’re not looking to identify the best college, but we are looking to unearth fresh practice which is enabling young people with disabilities to achieve their goals. It’s a chance to shout about the hard work you do and share your practice with the sector.
It doesn’t matter the size of your setting, or the scale of your project: if it’s innovative, exciting, and having an impact, we want to know about it!
Our eight categories this year are:
- Innovative use of technology
- Innovative routes into employment
- Innovation in student voice
- Innovative approach to mental health and wellbeing
- Innovative interdisciplinary working
- Innovative specialist / mainstream FE partnership working
- Curriculum innovation
- Innovative approach to equality, diversity and inclusion
Our partnership working award is now focussed specifically on collaboration between specialist and mainstream further education colleges.
The deadline for applications this year is 11 December at 4pm.
We look forward to seeing what you submit and celebrating the winners at an online awards ceremony next year.
