The overall aim of the project was for APs at each of the partner colleges in Surrey to support selected teaching teams with resilience strategies to maintain positive levels of mental health and well-being as these teachers undertake their daily work roles and responsibilities.

This Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment project (OTLA), from 2016 - 2017, was a partnership between Petroc College of Further and Higher Education and Plymouth College of Art. It focused on raising teachers’ and learners’ awareness of Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) and its role in identifying skills gaps. It also explored mindfulness as a way of developing soft skills. Outputs included employability resources and a positive introduction to mindfulness for staff and students.
