			[[Virtual Women's Further Education College]]

			The setting up of a ''Virtual Women's Further Education College'' was the subject of an extensive Feasibility Study done by BDO Stoy Hayward for the Further Education Division of the Department of Education and Learning Northern Ireland ([[DELNI]]) in 2008. This arose from a meeting of representatives from organisations engaged in women’s training and
			education with the then DELNI Minister in 2006 to discuss sustaining community-based work in a virtual way. A proposal was put to the Minister for a Virtual Women’s College. This was the context for the feasibility study.

			A very thorough piece of work was done, resulting in a long report (80 pages) and an extensive set of conclusions. In a nutshell, the consultants found the case for such a college not convincing.

			: In summary, there would not appear to be a market driven need for a Virtual Women’s FE College. DELNI's remit for achieving its high level objectives can be met by the FE colleges, whose increasing focus is on employability and enterprise.
			: The above addresses the issue of the Virtual Women’s FE college. It is however noted that whilst there is no specific need identifiable, there are barriers, perceived or real to women’s participation in Further Education.


			''The Report is an excellent example of how an initially attractive idea for virtual provision may not be borne out by market research and the views of the existing stakeholders. Technical issues appear to be secondary.''
