  • The Region Is Poised to Benefit from a Share of a New £65M Government Flagship Investment Programme
    The region is poised to benefit from a share of a new £65m government flagship investment programme. Twelve education providers across the Humber, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire are set to receive a multimillion-pound boost as part of the successful TEC Partnership-led bid to join the Skills Accelerator Programme. The providers, which stretch from Scarborough to Beverley and through to Grimsby, have been granted the Strategic Development Fund (SDF) as part of the government’s pilot programme, which aims to respond to local priorities for skills and innovation. This includes supporting the development of courses that will provide the skills and education needed for future industries, particularly the use of new fuel technology, green energy, robotics, artificial intelligence and the latest electric vehicle maintenance. TEC Partnership, which comprises Grimsby Institute, Scarborough TEC, East Riding College and Modal Training, is one of just 12 organisations selected to lead the pilot across the country. Also part of the collaboration are University of Hull, Bishop Burton, North Lindsey College (part of DN Colleges Group), Selby College, Franklin College, John Leggott College, Wilberforce Sixth Form College and Hull College. Gill Alton OBE, Chief Executive of the TEC Partnership, said: “This is incredibly exciting news for the 12 providers involved in the bid, as well as the wider region. Working directly with our partners we will deliver a once-in-a-generation transformation programme. “This programme brings together 12 visionary and committed providers to form the largest single collaborative skills initiative. It is a landmark trailblazer that will foster new approaches, joint events, shared resources and a deepening engagement with industry partners.” Exciting plans for the Strategic Development Fund will support and build on the recently announced Humber Freeport, offshore wind industry and green energy industry.

  • Transport to Education and Training Policy Statement for Students Of
    Transport to Education and Training Policy Statement for Students of Sixth Form Age 2017-2018 Policy Statement and Main Objectives This transport policy statement details the arrangements for transport and financial assistance for transport that the local authority considers it necessary to make to ensure access to education or training for learners of sixth form age. 1. Introduction 1.1 A child’s statutory entitlement to free home to school transport ceases once the child reaches the end of compulsory school education in the school year in which the student is 16 years of age. Although students are required to participate in education or training until the end of the academic year in which they become 18, there is no statutory entitlement to free transport once a student reaches sixth form age. 1.2 This policy statement sets out the support and assistance for home to school or college transport for students of sixth form age which is available for students living in the East Riding of Yorkshire and receiving full time education or training. The East Riding of Yorkshire Council does not provide transport or travel assistance for part time students, students attending higher education establishments or non-state funded education, unless the student is on a course that has been arranged through the Council. Students undertaking a recognised Traineeship Programme of up to 6 months may be eligible to apply for the support options listed in section 4. For students undertaking an Apprenticeship, employers will need to take account of the students’ likely transport arrangements and students should discuss options available with the employer and educational establishment in the first instance.
