FE Video.co.uk is launched by FE Careers

FE Careers has launched FE Video today. FE Video is an online video and movie sharing service for the Further Education and Work Based Learning industry. FE Video has been developed to enable everyone in the Further Education sector to share video clips, view speeches and share best practice across the Work Based Learning and Further Education sector.

Industry leading bodies have already agreed to provide ongoing content, organisations ranging from Teachers.TV, UnionLearn(TUC) to the Quality Improvement Agency (QIA). FE Video is the latest web development to be released from FE Careers and FE News. At the end of last year they also launched FE Events (an exhibition, conference and Further Education event calendar) and the SearchFE education directory.

Gavin, CEO of FE Careers explains the significance of FE Video. ìThe opportunities with FE Video are endless. The original idea came to me when I was sitting in a conference with 300 other people, when we heard an announcement that would affect the lives of millions of learners and hundreds of thousands of tutors, trainers, lecturers and assessorsÖ none of whom were in the room. This started me thinking. This idea has been playing on my mind for quite a while: ëWouldnít it be great if the delivery staff and learners could see what the strategists were thinking?í From this FE Video was born!

ìFE Video is a video clip and movie sharing site for the FE Community. Everything from speeches, best practice to general interest clips from the Further Education sectorÖ. But what is really interesting is how creatively our clients on FE Careers have thought how they can utilise the FE Video facility. Many are planning over the next couple of months to use FE Video as a recruitment branding tool: linking video from their jobs adís to show what it is like to work in their organisation, what interesting things they are doing to engage learners, to innovatively show a job seeker why they should come along and join them . The opportunities are endless, from cementing a recruitment brand, to sharing best practice, to industry speeches on educational strategy.
We are really pleased to be working with Teachers.TV, QIA and UnionLearn with broadcast quality video clipsÖ but FE Video is for the entire sector and we anticipate lecturers, tutors and assessors to be provide content very shortly too. As we have just launched today, we need everyone to get involved and sharing best practice for the whole FE industryî.

All video clips and movies uploaded on the FE Video site are also going to feed content to YouTube. Letís see how the FE Community responds to FE Video, from a recruitment branding perspective this is a major development rolled out by FE Careers.
