This mix of major FE providers, gives the FEDEC partnership an almost unique and advantageous position in terms of understanding the post-16 education and skills needs of the county. It also affords it an ability to strategically shape and influence the development and availability of provision through its members and their various campuses and other delivery sites.
Prospects College of Advanced Technology has merged now with South Essex College but will retain its branding of PROCAT. SEEVIC and Palmers colleges merged during 2017/18 and will be known as USP College (Unified SEEVIC and Palmer's College) from 2018/19.
