  • West Midlands
    West Midlands Introduction The West Midlands has an area of just under 13,000 km2. Around 5.2 million people live in the region, giving a population density of 405 people per km2. This is close to the average for England, but West Midlands metropolitan county – which consists of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton – is the second most densely populated urban area in the country after London. It has nearly 3,000 people per km2. Birmingham has just under 1 million inhabitants, making it the second largest city in the UK. Other significant urban areas are Stoke-on-Trent, Worcester, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Stafford. Economic development The economic output of the West Midlands is just around £63 billion, 8.2 per cent of the total UK GDP. Manufacturing industry is responsible for just over a quarter of employment and almost 30 per cent of GDP, the highest proportion for any region in the UK. However, the manufacturing industry is declining in favour of service industries. Unemployment in the region is above the national average at 5.9 per cent. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is over £990 million per year. Higher education provision There are 12 higher education institutions in the West Midlands: eight universities and four higher education colleges. There are an additional 41 further education colleges with students taking higher education courses. All nine Staffordshire FECs offering HE courses have joined a funding consortium of 12 institutions led by Staffordshire University. The higher education student population is over 127,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students.

  • Dudley College Strategic Plan 2013
    1 STRATEGIC PLAN 2013-16 2 FOREWORD In February 2013 Ofsted recognised Dudley College as one of the highest performing general further education colleges in the country. For more information log on to www.dudleycol.ac.uk FOREWORD 3 FOREWORD Dudley College has played a pivotal role in the provision of vocational and technical education in Dudley borough and the wider Black Country for over 150 years. The last five years have been particularly remarkable for the college. In 2012 we successfully completed and opened the first two phases of the Dudley Learning Quarter, catalysing the regeneration of Dudley town centre. We opened our Skills Hub, enhancing services for employers and also our Employment Hub, helping young people and adults into work. We supported more young people in learning than ever before and achieved a significant increase in the number of apprentices of all ages studying at college and in their workplaces. We continued to extend and diversify our curriculum introducing exciting new programmes. As a result, in February 2013 Ofsted recognised Dudley College as one of the highest performing general further education colleges in the country. But we acknowledge there is still much to be done. The Black Country faces significant challenges in the years ahead, foremost of which is the need to further improve the skills and attainment levels of young people and adults. Higher level skills are essential if we are to continue to drive the region’s economic recovery. This strategic plan, for the period 2013-16, sets out the mission and vision we have for Dudley College.

  • WMREDI Policy Briefing Series May 2021 Priorities for Up-Skilling and Re
    WMREDI Policy Briefing Series May 2021 Priorities for up-skilling and re-skilling: what role can and should universities play? Abigail Taylor, Anne Green and Sara Hassan Summary and policy recommendations Universities and colleges in the West Midlands are contributing considerably to up-skilling and re-skilling through developing future sectoral skills, piloting new ways of learning, supporting graduate employability, addressing access to higher education (HE) barriers, developing pathways between further education (FE) and HE, introducing applied higher-level skills development initiatives and working with regional governance stakeholders. Strengthening partnership working across universities and regional stakeholders is crucial to effective up-skilling and re-skilling over the next decade. Key skills-focused partnership opportunities for universities relate to developing analysis of skills needs in local areas, improving support for graduates given the challenging labour market caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, better linking skills to innovation and developing higher level skills through regional investment and R&D and innovation activities. The research identifies 12 key short- and long-term priorities for universities and other regional stakeholders to expand their role in up-skilling and re-skilling. They include simplifying progression routes between FE and HE. 1 Introduction This briefing summarises findings from a research project examining the role of universities in skills and regional economic development. It identifies key short and medium-term priorities for the up-skilling and re-skilling of school leavers, graduates and existing employees in the West Midlands. It analyses the current and potential future role of universities within this. Based on analysis of 22 interviews conducted in winter/spring 2020/2021 with universities and selected colleges in each Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) area in the West Midlands Combined Authority area, as well as their partner organisations, it contrasts experiences across the various universities.

  • Dudley College and for Taking the Time to Read Our Annual Review of 2009-10
    ANNUAL REVIEW 2009 - 2010 www.dudleycol.ac.uk PRINCIPAL’s WELCOME MANY THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST IN DUDLEY COLLEGE AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ OUR ANNUAL REVIEW OF 2009-10. It was, undoubtedly, another challenging year for the college and for the communities and businesses we support here in the Black Country. If anything, these difficult economic times heighten the importance of further education and the significant role colleges play in the social and economic regeneration of their local communities. Last year, through our diverse curriculum, we supported record numbers of young people on full time programmes and apprenticeships. In doing so we were pleased to see our success rates maintained above the national average and improved considerably in some areas. In short, more young people attended the college than ever before and more left us with their target qualification achieved. Like many other colleges we experienced significant cuts in funding for general adult education programmes. In many ways it is disappointing to see these programmes in decline. We are, however, immensely proud of the significant growth we achieved on our programmes to upskill employed adults and to get those out of work back into jobs. Our new employability centre at Brierley Hill operated close to capacity throughout the year. Whilst we know there are further reductions in public funding in 2010/11 and beyond, we remain positive and up-beat about our future. In January 2011 building work starts on our new Dudley town centre campus and in 2012 we will be celebrating our 150th anniversary with the opening of our new campus.

  • Professional Development Programme Spring / Summer 2017
    Professional Development Programme Spring / Summer 2017 About our programme Our Professional Development Programme is a suite of networks run or supported by AoC West Midlands. Network meetings provide a forum for professional exchange in an informal setting. All meetings are free to attend for all staff at AoC West Midlands member colleges. They are an opportunity to hear relevant updates from external partners and from AoC, support the exchange of good practice, and act as a springboard for collaborative development projects between colleges. Wherever possible, each network is chaired by a practitioner from a member college and all members are encouraged to suggest agenda items and speakers they would like to hear from. Meetings are held at member colleges across the region, taking place from 10am to 1pm unless otherwise stated, and usually concluding with a networking lunch. We currently run or support 16 different networks in the region each year for our members. The network programme is complemented by other ‘one-off’ events which we run in response to specific topical issues or as a key element in the delivery of funded projects. 4 Curriculum and Quality College HE | Learning and Development | LLDD | Maths and English | Quality, Excellence and Innovation | Nominees | Sports | NAMSS (Student Services) 8 Business Development Business Development Managers 9 Leadership and Governance Principals’ Forum | Clerks | Governance Development Programme 10 Resources College Finance Directors’ Group | HR Managers | IT Managers | MIS Managers 12 Spring / Summer 2017 Dates 3 Curriculum and Quality College HE The network supports staff with management responsibility for the provision of higher education in colleges, although anyone from a member college with an interest in higher education is welcome to attend.
