City Lit and Kensington and Chelsea College
About Us
City Lit (CL) is an adult education provider in Central London, offering a large, mainly non-accredited, liberal adult education programme. Kensington and Chelsea College (KCC) is a further education college for adults based in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea, West London.
Both colleges:
- have strong links and partnerships with local adult and community learning (ACL) and work-based learning (WBL) providers
- deliver initial teacher training (ITT) for post-compulsory education and training (PCET)
- have formal and/or informal mentoring programmes
- have made a commitment to coaching/mentoring as a staff development tool for their own staff and those working in small to medium enterprises (SMEs).
"The aim of our project was to develop a mentoring programme appropriate to the adult and community sector. The programme included both subject-specific and generic mentoring. We piloted a training programme for experienced teachers in two colleges, the WBL sector and voluntary organisations. The project also explored the setting-up of a brokerage system for subject-specific mentors."
