Abstract
This chapter addresses the nature of intermediate knowledge and skill. It is particularly concerned with issues of curriculum in Further education and training (FET) colleges, given that colleges are currently being required to move away from what they have traditionally done and take on a much broader curriculum mandate. The concluding section argues for a FET curriculum of the future that recognises intermediate skill in its own right, albeit in a shape and form that bears little relation to trade apprenticeships, traditionally the backbone of skill creation at the intermediate level.-
