Foundation Degree Forward (fdf) closed in July 2011 after eight years at the heart of employer engagement in higher education. A press release about fdf’s closure can be found on the HEFCE website here.
fdf was established in 2003 by the (then) Department for Education and Skills. Funding was provided by HEFCE. fdf was initially tasked with developing innovative approaches to the creation of Foundation degrees, with a very clear focus on establishing employer engagement in Foundation degree development. fdf also worked extensively with colleges on enhancing their Foundation degrees provision.
In 2006 HEFCE broadened the fdf remit beyond the Foundation degree qualification to embrace an emphasis upon establishing and sustaining employer demand for appropriate higher education provision in general.
Where can I now find fdf’s services and resources?
