Suspension / Review of the Skills Portal http://engage.traintogain.gov.uk Lee Passingham
Skills Portal – Process Business Link Adviser posts needs on the portal Providers have 5 working days to respond BLA gathers information and presents to employer Employer choice Feedback to provider
Skills Portal – Usage Ratio 7.1:1 Ratio 4.7:1
Declining usage – impacted by Train to Gain funding situation 5 providers cover two-thirds of responses 56% of providers have not accessed the portal in the last 18 months Success rate at picking up business is low Skills Portal – Issues
Proposition identified to ‘suspend’ use of the SP However when considering this what replaces it? Could be a matrix based approach But this may be an interim Would it be better to use this quieter period to establish a long term solution? Yorkshire & Humber developments are interesting Skills Portal – Action Identified
Anticipate increasing numbers of learner starts being ‘prepared’ in readiness for April 2010 Joint review with provider representation by the end of November – principally emda led Skills Portal – Next Steps Don’t forget the Engage web site: http://engage.traintogain.gov.uk
And the winner is… • Care Training East Midlands
