Leonardo funds overseas work placements and the development of training materials with the objective of improving the provision of Vocational Education and Training (VET) across Europe. The overall objective of the new programme is to contribute, through lifelong learning, to the Lisbon goal for the EU; to become an advanced knowledge based society with sustainable economic development, more and better jobs and greater social cohesion. It aims to support these goals through promoting the exchange of best practice, co-operation and mobility between education and training systems within the EU, while respecting national diversity. Leonardo focuses on raising the quality and relevance of VET and this is an exciting opportunity for organisations involved in VET to build European partnerships, exchange best practice, increase the expertise of their staff and develop the skills of learners. 1.2 ACTIVITIES FUNDED THROUGH THE LEONARDO DA VINCI PROGRAMME In 2008 the Leonardo da Vinci programme funded the following types of activity (managed by the Leonardo UK National Agency or the Executive Agency): Preparatory Visits to help organisations interested in participating in the Leonardo Programme to find new partners or discuss and develop an outline of a planned project. Mobility projects, including work placements for learners, trainees and staff. Small Scale Co-operation Projects (including Partnerships) that allow UK organisations to work with European counterparts on issues of mutual interest, to share good practice, experience and to discuss common problems. Large Scale Co-operation Projects (including Transfer of Innovation) for the development of innovative practice and the transfer of results to new settings (e.g. target groups, sectors, countries) through working with transnational partners. 2 2 MOBILITY 2.1 PURPOSE OF THE LEONARDO MOBILITY ACTION The main purpose of this action is to improve the vocational skills of the UK workforce. Organisations can apply for Leonardo Mobility funding for two main activities: a European work placement for learners or a short study visit for staff involved in Vocational Education and Training. In 2008 the UK National Agency has awarded funding to 127 successful projects under the Leonardo Mobility measure. 2.2 MOBILITY TARGET GROUPS The three main target groups eligible to participate in a Mobility project are as follows: People in initial vocational training (IVT) Those enrolled on a full-time or part-time course of initial vocational training (usually, up to N/SVQ level 3), including Apprentices. You can send IVT trainees to another European country for a work placement to enable them to gain real experience and skills in employment. People in the Labour Market (PLM) Those in employment, those undertaking work-based training, those who have graduated from college or university, or those who are not in work. You can send people in the labour market to another European country for a work placement to enable them to gain real experience and skills in employment. Vocational Education and Training Professionals (VETPRO) Those who are employed, in a business or training environment, to design or deliver training, professional development or careers guidance. Professionals can take part in short placements to learn from European colleagues. A placement will contribute to their personal development, and they will be able to learn new skills and ways of working to bring back to their job in the UK. 3 2.3 GENERAL STATISTICS ON LEONARDO MOBILITY FUNDING IN 2008 Number of participants per target group in each UK country; Number of 2008 Leonardo Mobility Projects per UK Country & Target Group 50 IVT PLM 40 VETPRO 30 20 10 0 Northern England Scotland Wales Ireland IVT 46 6 7 5 PLM 23 0 0 1 VETPRO 27 5 5 2 Type of promoting organisations supported by Leonardo Mobility; Breakdown per Type of Promoting Organisation VET Providers Associations Centre for vocational guidance and counselling Body providing guidance and information on Lifelong Learning University / Higher Education Institution Vocational training centre or organisation Professional Associations Enterprise SME (<500 employees) Non-profit organisation / association Public Authority (national) Public Authority (regional or local) 4 2.4 UK NATIONAL PRIORITIES FOR 2008 Please note that different National priorities are set in each country eligible to participate in the Lifelong Learning Programme. These may also differ depending on the specific action under the LLP. In the UK the National priorities for the Leonardo Mobility action in 2008 are as follows: Applications from organisations working with disadvantaged groups; Applications from organisations that have not previously applied for Leonardo mobility projects; Applications from organisations in under-represented countries and geographical regions will be encouraged, namely Wales, the East Midlands and the East of England. Applications from both small enterprises (up to 50 employees), whose primary function is not the delivery of education and training, and applicant organisations facilitating the participation of those not in employment, education and training (NEETs). 5 3 AT-A-GLANCE GUIDE TO PROJECTS 3.1 IVT – PEOPLE IN INITIAL VOCATIONAL TRAINING Organisation Title of the Project Project number Page Photography and Video Students Aberdeen College UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163051 15 Emplacement Creating Opportunities for Mobility in Angus College UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163066 15 Catering Exploring Finnish Land-Based Engineering Askham Bryan College UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163112 15 in a Changing Climate The Integration of Environmental Askham Bryan College Management and Agricultural Production in UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163113 16 Sweden Widening Horticultural/Forestry/Animal Askham Bryan College Management Experience through European UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163109 16 Learning and Study 16 Widening Horticultural Experience through Askham Bryan College UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163107 European Learning and Study Birmingham College of Food, Placements in Europe UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163031 17 Tourism and Creative Studies Blackpool and the Fylde College Blackpool V Como 6 UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163033 17 Bournville College Work Experience 2009-2010 UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163119 17 Development of Forest Schools skills for the Bridgend College UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163063 18 Child Care Sector Marine Biodiversity Survey Placement in the Cardiff University UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163064 18 Eastern Aegean Care Co-operatives Limited French English Social Enterprise UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163055 18 Chelmsford College Preparing for a career in Travel & Tourism UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163041 19 City College Plymouth Learning Difficulties in VET UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163010 19 Colegsirgar Sport, Coaching and Culture UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163062 19 Corporation of Ashton Sixth Further Business Opportunities 2010 UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163035 20 Form College Craven College Abruzzo Tourism Project UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163054 20 6 Organisation Title of the Project Project number Page Promotion of Education Through Rugby for Cumbernauld College UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163127 20 Youth Cumbernauld College GOALIES UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163126 21 Vocational Opportunities in Lifelong Cumbernauld College UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163125 21 Learning European Sports Deeside College Apprentice Mobility UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163036 21 Dundee College Euroskills Extra UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163014 22 FILTON COLLEGE Internships in Tenerife UK/08/LLP-LdV/IVT/163139

  • South and City College Birmingham 2019-20 Access and Participation Plan 2019-20
    South and City College Birmingham 2019-20 access and participation plan 2019-20 1. South and City College Birmingham is a large diverse, general further education college, which operates across much of Birmingham. The College dates back to1875 when it was formed as Handsworth Technical School and has undergone a number of name changes and developments since its original formation. In 1963 Hall Green Technical College was formed and then became independent as South Birmingham College in 1993 following the Further and Higher Education Act 1992. In August 2012 the College changed its name to the present South & City College following the merger between South Birmingham College and City College Birmingham. In 2017 the College was approved to use the term ‘University centre’ by the Department for Education and now enrols approximately 850+ students on higher education programmes. 2. Following the Government’s Area Review process in 2015, it was recommended that Bournville College merge with South and City College Birmingham. Bournville College experienced turbulent times in recent years due to poor financial management and wider management issues, which affected the quality of delivery and students’ learning experience prior to 2016. The West Midlands region was in the first phase of the process and so during academic year 2016-17 South and City College Birmingham and Bournville College operated as federated colleges with a shared Principal and management team until merger was approved. Bournville College formally closed and became part of South and City College Birmingham in August 2017. South and City College Birmingham is now one of the largest general further education colleges in England, offering courses from entry-level qualifications to higher levels.
