London Skills Team Brief May 2014/Issue No London Skills Team Brief May 2014/issue no. 2 Introductory Remarks The past couple of months have been busy in the skills competitions and shows scene in London. Four Skills Show Experience events have taken place at the College of North West London, West Thames College, Barking and Dagenham College and South Thames College. Around 7,000 young Londoners attended the events. The last event in London will take place at Hackney Community College on 3 July. We hope to see even more young people ‘Having a Go’ at the range of skills exhibited there. At the same time, registrations for this year’s WorldSkills UK competitions have now closed. We are very pleased that there were over 370 registrations from London colleges and other providers. Some of the most popular skills areas included popular music, mechanical engineering and beauty therapy. More information on the registrations and regional heats will follow in the next issue of the London Skills Team Brief. Lastly, the past months have also seen important changes happen in the national skills competitions and shows landscape with the creation of a new umbrella organisation called ‘Find a Future’, which will bring together WorldSkills UK, The Skills Show and The Skills Show Experience. We look forward to continuing our existing good cooperation with the different parts of Find a Future. Cathy Walsh, AoC London Region Co-Chair; AoC London Regional World Skills Champion 2013-2014 and Principal, Barking and Dagenham College New Organisation to Lead on Skills and Careers Experience Nationally From 1 April 2014, UK’s leading experiential careers education events and skills competitions will be brought together in a single organisational structure to be known as ‘Find a Future’. The new organisation will encompass not only the national programme of WorldSkills UK Skills Competitions but also The Skills Show, the nation’s leading annual skills and careers event, and The Skills Show Experience, a nationwide programme of more than 220 events which inspire young people to consider what they are good at and become excited about the world of work. “Find a Future is the perfect opportunity for us to integrate three highly successful products and enhance their offering to our end users – young people – whilst adding real value to individual’s lives and the future economic prosperity of our nation,” explains Ross Maloney, Chief Executive of Find a Future. “The products have many synergies and shared ambitions, and by bringing them together, we are confident that we can achieve greater impact and reinforce the importance of valuing and celebrating further education, skills and apprenticeships.” From 1 April, responsibility for WorldSkills UK Skills Competitions has been transferred by the Skills Funding Agency to Find a Future. And, as Mr Maloney explains, this brings immediate benefits and a common purpose to the organisation: “WorldSkills UK Skills Competitions drive excellence in both industry and education, and help to improve the quality of teaching and learning and standards across a broad range of industry sectors. Including them in the portfolio of Find a Future provides a great opportunity to drive increased participation in skills competitions and encourage more young people to excel in their chosen skill on a local, regional, national and international stage. As performance standards rise, industry will benefit, ensuring that the UK remains the leader in skills across the world. “By combining our resources, Find a Future will ensure that employers have direct access to the diversity of talent which they need, to enable their businesses to flourish and our nation to prosper.” 2 The Skills Show Experience at the College of North West London The first Skills Show Experience event in London in 2014 took place at the College of North West London on 26 March. Around 1,000 visitors attended the event. The college has been very successful in the past years at WorldSkills UK, and accordingly competitions played a central role at the event. These included for instance web design, forensic science, brickwork, vehicle mechanics and carpentry. Visitors were able to take part in a range of Have a Gos including, among others, plastering, painting and robotics. Uxbridge College organised a Have a Go on games development and Harrow College on hair and beauty. Visitors were also able to ‘fish a duck’ at the National Careers Service stand and receive independent careers advice from them. Employers, including Buck & Hickman, CITB, Facom, GEA Heat Exchangers, the London Community Neighbourhood Cooperative and others, were also present on the day. Aspire – the West London Skills Show Experience Following the first event at the College of North West London, the second Skills Show Experience event took place at West Thames College on 4 April. Around 1,800 visitors attended the event. 3 The event focused on jobs for young people and included careers advice on CVs and interview technics provided by the National Careers Service, as well as on-site over 800 interviews with Premier Inn, Tesco, Pet Plan Insurance, London Heathrow and other companies. Furthermore, tens of other employers were present at the event’s jobs fair. Have a Go activities in building a bike, room service, DJ skills, forklift truck driving, digital sculpture and many other sectors, offered visitors opportunities to try out new skills. Visitors were able to create a unique badge or try to beat a rowing champion on Richmond upon Thames College’s stand. The Skills Show Experience @BDC The Skills Show Experience at Barking and Dagenham College took place on 30 April. Over 2,000 visitors attended the event. Havering College of FE and HE, Tower Hamlets College, Redbridge College and Waltham Forest College together with the host college and employers offered over 70 Have a Go activities for young people, ranging from hair and beauty to a pit stop challenge and pimping your PC. Over 30 career spotlight sessions offered visitors insights into the world of work. These included, among others, presentations from the Construction Industry Training 4 Board, e-skills, Siemens and Sanctuary Search. National Careers Service provided independent careers advice at the event. The event also included the regional heats of three major skills competitions: SkillBuild – a multi-trade skills competitions for construction skills, SkillElectric – an electric installation skills competition and SkillPlumb – a plumbing skills competition. The Skills Show Experience at South Thames College The Skills Show Experience at South Thames College took place on 8 May. Over 2,000 visitors attended the event.

Employers, such as McDonals, KPMG and Barclays were also involved in the event. National Careers Service offered independence careers advice at the event and organised a number of sessions for visitors, with a particular focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The event also hosted the WorldSkills UK regional heat for games development. 5 Skills London 2014 Update After another successful event in November 2013 attracting over 30,000 visitors, the Skills London team are busy planning this year's event. The 2014 event takes place on Friday 21 & Saturday 22 November at ExCeL. The planning team includes the Greater London Authority, the National Apprenticeship Service, National Careers Service, London First and Prospects who meet monthly to ensure the event is focused on delivering the best visitor experience and widest range of visitors for participating organisations. Skills London is supported by an exhibitor focus group chaired by Terry Morgan of Crossrail and, new for 2014, the schools focus group. The focus groups have enabled the organisers to get real feedback from both exhibitors and visitors helping them to understand the impact attending Skills London has on everyone involved. Exhibitors and schools are continuing to support the growth of Skills London and are consulted on content, marketing and outcomes. This year's event will see an even wider selection of inspiring, interactive, educational skills presentations, performances and Get Skilled activity stands. The clear aim of these is to inspire students and help them to understand the skills required by employers within the capital. New additional zones have been planned in to highlight employment growth areas within the capital. Skills London, the capitals biggest jobs and careers event is a one stop shop for young people, teachers, careers professionals and parents to learn, be inspired and engage with a vast range of educators and employers from across London.

The aim of the programme is to increase the number of providers engaged in skills competitions; increase excellence in vocational teaching and learning; enhance occupational expertise; and support a more diverse competitor base. The CPD programme will build on existing resources pooled together and have a core offer of vocational masterclass days and half days. The nationally developed programme will be delivered regionally in two waves, using a tailored programme for each region: from April 2014 to July 2014 and from September 2014 to November 2014. AoC London Region is currently working on developing the regional programme and will provide a separate update for member colleges and other partners shortly.

It has experienced rapid population growth, increasing by over 50,000 in the last 10 years up until 2015. There are five key town centers: Brixton, Clapham and Stockwell, North Lambeth (Waterloo, Vauxhall, Kennington), and Norwood and Streatham. Lambeth is the 5th most deprived Borough in London. One in five of the borough’s residents work in jobs that pay below the London Living Wage. This is reflected by the fact that nearly one in four (24%) young people live in families who receive tax credits. Major regeneration developments and improvements are underway for Waterloo and Vauxhall and the Nine Elms Regeneration project which will drive the transformation of these areas. Lambeth College has three main campuses in the borough, based in Clapham, Brixton and Vauxhall. Approximately a quarter of the student cohort in any given academic year are 16‐18 learners. In addition to this, there is also a significantly growing proportion of 16-18 learners on Apprenticeship programmes, moderate numbers on workplace‐training provision for employers and school link programmes which are offered to relatively smaller learner volumes.

  • Open Letter to Address Systemic Racism in Further Education
    BLACK FURTHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIP GROUP 5th August 2020 Open letter to address systemic racism in further education Open letter to: Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Gavin Williamson MP, Secretary of State for Education, funders of further education colleges; regulatory bodies & further education membership bodies. We, the undersigned, are a group of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) senior leaders, and allies, who work or have an interest in the UK further education (FE) sector. The recent #BlackLivesMatter (#BLM) global protest following the brutal murder of George Floyd compels us all to revisit how we address the pervasive racism that continues to taint and damage our society. The openness, solidarity and resolve stirred by #BLM is unprecedented and starkly exposes the lack of progress made in race equality since ‘The Stephen Lawrence Enquiry’. Against a background of raised concerns about neglect in healthcare, impunity of policing, cruelty of immigration systems – and in education, the erasure of history, it is only right for us to assess how we are performing in FE. Only by doing so, can we collectively address the barriers that our students, staff and communities face. The personal, economic and social costs of racial inequality are just too great to ignore. At a time of elevated advocacy for FE, failure to recognise the insidious nature of racism undermines the sector’s ability to fully engage with all its constituent communities. The supporting data and our lived experiences present an uncomfortable truth, that too many BAME students and staff have for far too long encountered a hostile environment and a system that places a ‘knee on our neck’.

  • Improving Pathways to Employment in Loughborough Junction
    Improving pathways to employment in Loughborough Junction This report is a summary of interviews, focus groups, and surveys of stakeholders and residents of Loughborough Junction carried out by the Young Foundation between March and October 2012 with funding from JPMorgan. Tricia Hackett Lucia Caistor-Arendar Mandeep Hothi October 2012 Acknowledgements We are grateful for the collaboration of our partners including Kings College Hospital, Lambeth College, London Borough of Lambeth, Helen Casey at the Institute of Education, the Loughborough Federation of Primary Schools, and support from the London Community Foundation and funding provided by JPMorgan. Sections • Background • Executive Summary • Research aims and methods • Key findings • Asset map of local education, skills and training provision • Views from residents and local stakeholders • Service Design Workshop: Four Ideas • Outcomes • Appendix 2 Background In early 2012, the Young Foundation was commissioned to conduct a feasibility study for the creation of a School of New Resources (SNR) - inspired by a New York City based community-education programme - in partnership with Kings College Hospital, Helen Casey at the Institute of Education, and the Loughborough Federation of Primary Schools. The Young Foundation expanded the partnership to include the London Borough of Lambeth and had support from the London Community Foundation. The idea for a School of New Resources for Loughborough Junction was the inspiration of Richard Chambers who was then Principal of Lambeth College. Mr Chambers retired soon after the project was commissioned and because of this and other significant changes at the college they were unable engage as a key partner as was originally envisaged. The theory of change for the School of New Resources was local residents having a stake in the economy and participating in civil society through improved educational attainment, employment, and volunteering rates of local residents, particularly those who are the most excluded.
