EFI Group has a bold mission to transform lives, careers and industries through pioneering, industry-led education in fashion, beauty and apprenticeships. Our vision is to deliver exceptional learning experiences, driven by innovation, inclusion, employability, and excellence.

The Industry Programmes Coordinator will primarily oversee the delivery of customised training programmes for employer partners, alongside EFI’s portfolio of industry-aligned short courses and summer schools. Acting as a key point of coordination across multiple projects, the role has a dual focus: ensuring employer partners receive exceptional support throughout the delivery of professional training programmes and providing members of the public with an outstanding learning experience on EFI’s professional short courses at Electra House.

The Industry Programmes Coordinator will play a vital operational role in liaising confidently and professionally with a range of stakeholders, including internal colleagues, employer-partners, and adult learners. The postholder will require strong organisational skills to manage project documentation, maintain accurate records on the business development database, coordinate stakeholder diaries, and ensure timely, professional correspondence.

The Industry Programmes Coordinator will support this work by maintaining up-to-date records of industry programme development and delivery activity, ensuring that relevant information is easily accessible as needed by wider stakeholders. The postholder is expected to maintain a general awareness of emerging trends and brands within fashion, retail, beauty and related sectors, with a focus on understanding employer demand for skills training.

This awareness will inform day-to-day tasks and enable the individual to demonstrate the EFI values.

Please note that this is not a teaching role and the postholder will not be expected to deliver training or be a subject expert in the topics we teach but will coordinate the activities of those responsible.

On occasion, the postholder may be expected to work outside of normal working hours, including weekends and bank holidays. This time will always be compensated as time-off-in-lieu and sufficient notice will always be provided.
