5. 5 Community Development  Principles Partnerships Evaluation and sharing of best practice Widening Participation My Entitlement to Learning The Training Unit, Community Learning and Development and Business Development has evolved since the operational plan was written. It is no longer referred to as its previous titles, it�s commonly known as Business and Community Development. This was addressed to target the worklessness, NEET group, IB client group, community learning and development and workforce development. When the operational plan was written there was a dispersed structure, now there is a comprehensive and cohesive structure that enables opportunity. Analogy I want to reflect on the position we were in last year through discussion on the three individual areas shown on the slide. THE STRENGTH OF BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT But if I can just start with an analogy of a rugby team. As in a game of rugby, the forwards are likened here to the Business and Community Department � as we do the initial work to create the platform and to make the opportunities, and then pass the ball out to the backs, the Faculties, who then use their skills, energy, qualities and abilities to score the tries or in our case increase the business. The forwards and backs are represented by Business and Community Development and the Faculties working in partnership to create a winning environment enabling the college prospers and grow in strength.The Training Unit, Community Learning and Development and Business Development has evolved since the operational plan was written.

6. 6 Principles Involve key agencies Representation with partnerships at senior level Engage and understand the communities need Understand the demand of local employers Provide and market information on positive outcomes

7. 7 Partnership working Work key stakeholders Routes to Work, Careers Scotland, Scottish Enterprise, Community Learning and Development, Employer Coalitions, Local Economic Forums, Voluntary Sector, Routes to Inclusion, European Partners, other VET Institutions and Employers, NHS Develop programmes Develop systems Work together to maximise external funding Possible SUM Growth Through the new proposed contracts it is expected that growth within the first year could equate to about 2000 SUM�s with the ability to maintain and grow at an average 10% per year. New Proposed Contracts Proposal Expectation SEL Get Ready for Work 06/07 �163,750.00 �114,625.00 SED Get Ready for Work 06/07 �163,750.00 �114,625.00 SEL Training for Work 06/07 79 �106,700.00 �74,690.00 SED Training for Work 06/07 79 �106,700.00 �74,690.00 SEL Skillseekers 06/07 �300,000 �210,000.00 Agreeing these figures would allow us to pilot the programme then build on it. New Priorities SE have Six national priority areas these are:- Tourism, Food and Drink, Financial Service, Life Sciences, Energy and the Electronic Markets. These are areas where we have NO Skillseekers or Modern Apprentices so this is an area that we need to work on to develop. Staffing would be required to develop this as over the past two years we have had staff reductions to consolidate our position. Now is the time to have targeted expansion. This requires and employer intermediary someone who is targeted to engage with companies for sector and business growth. The NEET Group is a group of young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training. It is estimated that 14% of young people between the age of 16 � 19 are in the NEET group of which some may be for a positive reason for example taking a gap year. But there are concerns that this figure accounts for those who are not realising their potential. In addition to this you have the IB client group of which there may be 50,000 who are of working age. This is a group that JC+ have ring fence monies to move them back into employment. This is an opportunity to create an intervention that addresses these issues.
