Governance
ESP has revisited its governance arrangements resulting in the establishment of a Management Board in support of the existing Strategy Group and three Leads Forums (Engineering, Construction and STEM). We support colleges in developing their capability, capacity and curriculum by establishing appropriate Training Networks as outlined below.
