TABLE 2

Contract partner outcomes - Supplementary learning options.

Note: if all outcomes are in shaded areas, provision is not appropriate with these providers.

Other Support

Added contract value. eg, Signposting to SSCs, Business Link, Direct Gov, CIPD, recruiting Apprenticeships. Possibly to be fed back later.

Skills Action Plan

Skills Broker to discuss potential learners eligibility if possible.

Note that qualification will require evidence to show competence in the workplace rather than aspiration.

Note the realistic need to restrict number of providers offered per employer for delivery feasibility. Majority to be with one provider, only use two if there is a particular requirement which cannot be delivered by lead provider.

Consider learner self-declaration. Employed, over 19, employer in geographical region, not previously qualified to level 2.

Evaluation

How will the customer measure success. Eg, accredited qualifications, increase in sales, less customer complaints.

Customer signature required if there are agreed actions at this time.
