Operating through a SECTEC‑led hub and Sub‑Regional Centres, the RKC will function much like a teaching hospital network - places where new teachers are trained, mentored and immersed in real-world technical learning environments. Crucially, the RKC will facilitate structured cross‑college collaboration to design shared workforce solutions, reduce duplication, and build a coherent regional approach to teacher supply.  Employers and providers will work together to co‑design and co‑deliver new curriculum materials, specialist skills courses and industry‑aligned pedagogies, ensuring teaching reflects the latest construction technologies, methods and standards. The RKC will also take responsibility for coordinating the FE Teacher Industry Exchange Programme, enabling teachers to refresh their industrial expertise and maintain credibility in fast‑changing construction environments.  To embed a culture of collaboration and knowledge exchange, the RKC will establish a Community of South East Construction Training Professionals, connecting construction technical teachers across the region. This community will act as a professional network for shared problem‑solving, peer learning and the continuous improvement of construction pedagogy.
