A case study aimed to develop a partnership with a local employers; to design, plan and deliver a high quality engineering curriculum based on real-work environment opportunities; to implement a way of working that will enable local businesses to take an active role in influencing College curriculum decisions in the future and to foster closer links with range of local engineering employers to support apprenticeship growth.
This publication provides an overview of the activities and outcomes of the London Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment projects led by the Association of Colleges in 2015/2016.
This project from Harlow College supported vocational tutors in Business, Media & Journalism and Hairdressing, to build upon an existing effective curriculum model to create innovative, relevant and diverse online content.
Arvia Technology and Altus Science are ‘hi-tech’ chemical businesses based in the Wirral already recruiting advanced and higher level apprentices. This case study illustrates how the college explored whether the existing model of a learner journey could be replicated for a group of learners, not only in large multi-national employer organisations but also within small- and medium-sized local employers. The success of the exchange lay in the open and trusting relationship built with the FE provider and their employer partners.
The exchange succeeded in bringing leaders together to explore and address the skills shortages within the Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering sector. The case study illustrates how Engineering Futures, a partnership formed by The Skills Company, Trafford College and Tameside College went on to build a collaborative and supportive environment which will help drive sector investment and growth.
The commitment of leaders from organisations involved in the Logistics and Transport sector recognised the essential need to meet together to address serious staff and skills shortages in this vital East Midlands business sector. This project illustrates the essential characteristics and benefits of bringing together five employers under the leadership of the Chair of the Institute of Couriers, the partnership which developed between Buxton and Leek College, the University of Derby and the D2N2 LEP and the benefits for all those involved.
