64 Chapter 3 – Effective interventions Regional performance In the East of England since 2001, 424,246 SfL learners have taken up 818,724 learning opportunities resulting in 131,074 people gaining qualifications that count towards the national target. By July 2006 the LSC had achieved 79% of its regional 2007 milestone for the target to improve basic skills. Case study 1 4 Inspiring Skills for Life learners Museums, Libraries and Archives East of England developed the All Aboard! programme to explore how museums, libraries and archives and Skills for Life providers could work in partnership to benefit learners. Six pilot projects, addressing either literacy, ESOL or numeracy, took place around the region in areas of skills need such as Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Luton. Projects included partnerships with further education colleges and family learning initiatives. They focused on developing activities at a museum, library or archive that would embed Skills for Life learning. These included using the People’s Network of Computers, specially selected book collections, object handling sessions, research into local history and family numeracy trails. The projects enabled many learners to experience museum, library and archive services for the first time. An evaluation showed that learners and tutors felt motivated and inspired and that the understanding of concepts was enhanced by applying them to real-life contexts. Many students talked about continuing their studies and sharing their learning experiences with families. Case study 15 Embedded Skills for Life support West Suffolk College provides Skills for Life courses in adult literacy, numeracy and IT which address some of the social and educational issues surrounding learning and personal development. Vocational tutors offer embedded Skills for Life support, either in class or at other arranged times. This might be in college or in a community setting such as work-based learning. ii) The East of England Skills and Competitiveness Partnership (EESCP) EESCP was established in September 2005 to lead a step-change in the region’s skills base by better co-ordinating resources and activity between a range of delivery partners. As a working partnership EESCP brings together the people, businesses and investment needed to achieve world-class skills, jobs and growth in line with the East of England Regional Economic Strategy. EESCP’s Framework for Action 2006-2009 sets out the partnership’s four strategic goals: 1. strengthen the East of England’s business base (SO4: 3, 4, 5, 6) 2. develop a culture of lifelong learning (to include developing the skills base of disadvantaged groups) (SO4: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8)
Regional Social Strategy – the strategy to achieve social inclusion throughout the East of England 3. create opportunities for disadvantaged groups and communities (SO4: 5, 7, 8) (by targeting efforts on disadvantaged localities and groups where the employment rate is low, including people with disabilities and longer-term illnesses, lone parents, Black and minority ethnic groups and older adults) 4. invest in sustainable economic growth (SO4: 4, 5, 6) (to include investing in disadvantaged communities). These goals will be achieved largely through six core work programmes: 1. implementing Sector Skills Agreements EESCP will work with sector skills councils to implement all approved regional sector skills agreements (SSAs). The construction SSA is already in place and being used as a pilot. 2. delivering Train to Gain Train to Gain is a programme to help businesses get the advice about the quality training and funding needed to boost productivity. This can include free training to help low skilled employees gain their first full Level 2 qualification and first Skills for Life numeracy and literacy qualification. In the East of England EESCP has played a key role in the design and development of Train to Gain and will help to co-ordinate delivery of the service. 3. improved 16-19 progression Progression from Level 2 qualifications at age 16 to Level 3 qualifications at age 19 is well below that of other regions, leading to low participation rates in further education (FE) and higher education (HE). EESCP is working towards improved access to impartial advice and guidance, demonstrable improvements in participation and achievement rates for disadvantaged groups and increased FE and HE participation and learning. 4. implementing the regional business support strategy EESCP has steered the development of the Better for Business regional business support strategy, which will provide a more coherent, integrated and accessible range of services to the region’s business community. Among its priorities, the strategy has recognised the need to provide adequate support for under-represented groups who could potentially become more entrepreneurial. 5. supporting local area agreements EESCP has identified that the ‘economic development and enterprise’ theme of LAAs provides an opportunity for regional and local partners to align funding and deliver to improve skills, education, employment and competitiveness against agreed objectives. The partnership will work towards encouraging local partners to reflect EESCP priorities for improving skills, education, employment and competitiveness within their LAAs (SO4: 6) and identifying an LAA pilot to test how EESCP and local partners can work together effectively to achieve the best results at a local level. 6. a compelling higher education offer On the basis of places per capita, the East of England has the lowest higher education provision in the country. In response, the region has embarked on a major HE capital expansion programme, particularly to increase HE provision in parts of the region where participation is low. University Campus Suffolk is the most advanced example to date with developments and plans being progressed at Southend, Peterborough, Thurrock, Harlow/Stansted and Bedford. 65
