We surveyed all 32 local authorities and asked them to complete a matrix of all community learning provision within their area, whether or not it was provided by the local authority. From the matrices returned we produced a summary of provision which gives a picture of the amount and type of provision offered within a local authority area. Each local authority has its own definition of provision which would fall under the description of “community learning” and as such there is a degree of variation in the provision listed.

The flexibility of FE in offering part-time provision is evident in the above. The HE sector has made strides in offering part-time courses, but there is still a significant bias in favour of full-time provision. 132 Job Centre Clients participating in New Deal Programmes: (at May 2001) Number of Clients in each New Deal Programme 170 84 485 765 NDLP New Deal 18-24 New Deal 25+ New Deal 50+ Source: Employment Service (Research and Development), 2001 There are 8 job centres in the Forth Valley LEF area. A total of 1504 people are participating on all New Deal programmes within the LEF area. The percentage of people on New Deal 18-24 and 25+ is 0.3%. The above figures give the combined total for participation across all four options for 18-24 year olds. Several New Deal programmes have been introduced since 1998 under the government’s welfare to work strategy. They have been developed to improve the employability of different categories of unemployed people. Whilst there is only one specific New Deal dedicated to learning – the Full Time Education and Training Option for 18 – 24 year olds - all of the New Deals relate to lifelong learning in that there is usually some element of learning or training activity, albeit in many instances informal learning, in New Deal provision i.e. in environmental improvement work, in work placement with employers, or work in a voluntary organisation. 133 Local Enterprise Company Training Programmes: at April 2001 Local Enterprise Company Training Programmes 766 800 700 609 600 503 500 400 269 300 130 138 200 100 0 Training for Work Skillseekers (employed Skillseekers (Modern status, non-employed Apprentices) status, special needs) Male Female Source: Scottish Enterprise (Lifelong Learning & Inclusion Division), 2001 Each LEC has responsibility for managing the delivery of TfW and Skillseekers in their area. The percentage of young women (15%) undertaking a Modern Apprenticeship is significantly lower than that for young men. New Futures Fund There are 2 New Futures Fund Projects in the Forth Valley LEF area. This Fund is run centrally by Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Islands Enterprise and is targeted on assisting those most excluded in society to progress towards social and economic inclusion.
