We have heard a rumour at FE News that the Work Based Learning team at Nord Anglia have been placed onto consultation? An unnamed source has stated that the staff at Leeds and Manchester Nord Anglia Work Based Learning Centres have been made redundant. Our source did not wish to be named, nor do they work for Nord Anglia (hence our initial scepticism). Have we heard a pack of lies, or is there any truth in the rumour? If this rumour is a pack of lies we apologise to Nord Anglia and to your staff if we have caused any unnecessary panic. The reason for this blog entry is to see what is the real story (or if there is no story at all!).
As Nord Anglia is so huge, we do not know who is the best person to speak to in the company. As we have just heard a rumour, we also want to see if anyone else has heard any news about the Work Based Learning team at Nord Anglia - to see if we were purely told an out and out lie or if the staff at Nord Anglia are being faced with bad news. As far as we understand, it is only the Work Based Learning team that is either facing or has been made redundant.
Can you help us, we are keen to understand what is happening? Do you work for Nord Anglia, are you a learner working with Nord Anglia or do you know someone in the company? Have you heard anything about Nord Anglia, or have we been told a pack of lies? Who would you recommend as a good point of contact to speak to in Nord Anglia? Help us reveal the true picture, so as we can update you with the full story in FE News.
Are there any other articles you think we should investigate? Please let us know.
The Word on the Street section is a FE gossip section of the FE Blog. Our gossip sources usually do not want to go on the record, and try to give us tips on what is happening in the FE sector. We do not claim any truth in these articles, at the FE Blog we are sceptical about the truth of an article unless a source is willing to be quoted. The reason for the Word on the Street section is to clarify if there is any truth in the 'rumour' that we have been passed and to attempt to reveal the truth from other interested parties within the FE sector, by asking : Is this truth or total fabrication?
