A guide to delivering adult skills provision to the unemployed

etf:1587

This guide pulls together all the various complex strands of policy and process which go to make up the employability and skills offer to unemployed people. It also provides hints and tips based on real experience to help learning and skills providers make sense of those strands and consider how they might best respond to the challenges posed by the ongoing changes to the Adult Skills Budget, DWP and Education Funding Agency (EFA) programmes.

English and mathematics in Apprenticeships: Guide

etf:1586

A step by step guide for providers

This guide is aimed at providers who are considering offering GCSEs in English and
maths. It will also be useful for all providers who would like to adopt a more
coherent approach to delivering English and maths within Apprenticeships in general.

Although the guide mainly focuses on GCSEs, we are aware that functional skills or other English and maths qualifications may be more appropriate for many apprentices.

Sustaining our Future: a Framework for embedding sustainable development in FE and skills

etf:1381

The Sustaining Our Future Framework aims to:
A. Build common understanding of what sustainable development is about, what it means for the sector and why the sector should collectively respond to it.
B. Alert providers to the business benefits of being a sustainable organisation, and how these benefits can be realised in an increasingly demand-led environment
C. Establish a common set of themes for action.

Using the self assessment process to improve the quality of English and maths provision

etf:1320

The aim of this module is to support managers with the development of the self-assessment report (SAR); and to consider how to use the SAR as a monitoring and quality assurance/improvement tool

Although primarily aimed at practitioners (teachers, trainers, assessors), both English and maths and vocational, it will also be of interest to senior staff with whole organisation responsibility for English and maths/functional skills; curriculum managers; quality and HR managers.

etf:747

The whole organisation approach (WOA) to English, ESOL and maths is where this provision (known as literacy, language and numeracy or LLN) is central to the whole organisation at all levels, ranging from strategic leadership and management to delivery practice. This includes embedding LLN in teaching and learning programmes across a range of learning aims and goals and providing all learners with opportunities to progress and achieve qualifications – approaches that will embed LLN at all levels.
