  • Skills and Employability Service
    Skills and Employability Service By: David Knox To: ELS partnership board Date 21/10/15 Subject Skills and Employability - Guilds Classification: Hospitality, Leisure and Tourism is the most advanced guild so far with a wide range of support across the sector, culminating in the Big Hospitality Conversation with a date yet to be decided. There was a HLTT zone at the Kent Choices 4 U Live event in March. An employability passport is being reviewed with The Abbey School, MidKent College, The Rosemary Shrager Cookery School and East Kent College. Other key stakeholders include Visit Kent and Springboard UK, Tom Oulton is currently working with them for feedback on the pilot and agreeing the next stages. We have coordinated the schools engagement for Rosemary Shrager and her apprenticeship scheme this year. Between February and May twelve events in local schools were held. The feedback has been very good, and the school has received a good level of applications for the September start. The guild plans to create a web-based portal to assist employers to signpost changing employment and skills needs to ensure providers can meet existing demand and deliver skills pipelines in advance of future requirements. The portal will provide training and skills information, advice and guidance about entry paths to the sector and a means for employers to offer work experience, apprenticeships, part and full time work and professional career opportunities. The portal will link with Kent County Council’s Kent Choices 4U site. A scoping meeting has taken place with Visit Kent about whether Transport and Logistics would be set up as separate guilds, however from discussions with employers it was agreed to keep them as part of this guild.

  • Can Active Collaborative Learning Improve Equality?
    Can Active Collaborative Learning Improve Equality? Uwe Matthias Richter, Anglia Ruskin University, United Kingdom Rachel Berkson, Anglia Ruskin University, United Kingdom The European Conference on Education 2019 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Across UK Higher Education, there is a strong drive to improve equality for students from diverse backgrounds reflected in government and university strategies and policies. One priority is the attainment gap, where students from some ethnic minorities and other disadvantaged backgrounds experience worse outcomes than expected. The national regulator, the Office for Students, allocated funding for projects to improve equality for all students. Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) is a modern university in the East of England. It serves a diverse group of students, including above sector average numbers of BME students, students from regions with low participation in HE, and students from low income families. ARU partnered with two other UK universities on one of the Office for Students ‘Addressing Barriers’ projects. In keeping with ARU’s strategic commitment to active learning, we aimed to scale up adoption of an Active Collaborative Learning approach, Team-Based Learning (TBL). TBL is a structured approach where students collaborate in permanent teams, and uses a mix of flipped learning, team work on authentic problems and feedback to ensure accountability. TBL has been demonstrated to improve engagement, participation and outcomes, with particular benefits for low performing students. We will present the evidence for impact on improved student outcomes, and narrowed gaps for disadvantaged groups of students as part of scaling up TBL across the institution. We will conclude with an outlook on how active collaborative learning together with other strategic measures can improve equality and student success in HE.

  • Where Next for Widening Participation and Fair Access? New Insights from Leading Thinkers
    With a Foreword from Professor Les Ebdon CBE DL Where next for widening participation and fair access? New insights from leading thinkers HEPI Report 98 Cover illustration: Artist unknown. Efforts have been made to trace the copyright holder prior to publication. If notified, HEPI will be pleased to rectify any errors or omissions at the earliest opportunity. Foreword Professor Les Ebdon CBE DL Director of Fair Access to Higher Education Today, the doors of higher education are open to thousands of people who would have been shut out in the past. Many universities and colleges have made great progress in widening participation and improving fair access. But considerable challenges remain. I am the fair access regulator for England, and this report covers the whole of the UK, which of course has different higher education systems in its various parts. But one thing that they all, sadly, have in common is that they do not yet provide true equality of opportunity. There are still stark gaps between different groups of people at every stage of the student lifecycle, in terms of whether they apply to higher education and where they apply to; whether they are accepted; the likelihood of having to leave their course early; the level of degree that they get; and whether they go on to a rewarding job or postgraduate study. While we celebrate improvements in access for disadvantaged young people, we must not forget that for older students and those studying part-time, the trend is steeply downward. And we must not allow headline figures about rising applications to distract us from the troubling issues of non-completion rates and different degree and employment outcomes, particularly for students from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds.
