How Have We Helped Other Providers?

Preparing For Success In Skills Devolution

As we approach the end of the Education and Skills Funding Agency and move toward the further devolution of adult skills funding to combined and local authorities, it's clear this shift will be a significant game-changer for providers. Are you ready to navigate the complexities and seize the opportunities?

Join us for our 1-day training course, "Making a Success of Skills Devolution," designed to help you prepare for an increasingly complex commissioning environment.

In this session, you will:

• Learn how to mobilize new funding opportunities

• Identify the right strategic direction for your organization

• Understand the intricacies of this new funding model

• Make informed technology decisions to create a cohesive and efficient delivery model

Step 1 - Creating Your Road Map

• We start by reviewing your current business-wide delivery strategy against your key business objectives, including your latest SAR

• We then carry out a range of investigations across key business functions to understand your business and people and what their needs are; including observations, interviews and surveys

• We create a series of diagrams to understand your current processes, then work with key personnel to identify opportunities for improvement

• We present a full Gap Analysis for you to decide the key priorities for future projects

This is where our clients get to have a pick and mix approach to how they work with us.  Here are some examples of the kind of short term high impact interventions we can deliver to get things moving rapidly in the right direction: 

• Devising the Schemes of work to implement qualification bundles

• Budget and profile planning for new delivery model across all your contracts

• Implementing API links between externally sourced IT systems

• Building reporting dashboards

• Devising an integrated employer engagement, learner engagement and marketing strategy including social media.

• Building learner specific websites integrated to backend systems and with the ability for learners to apply for training

• Conceptualising new initial assessments

Change is not easy, and sometimes we need someone external to push us in the right direction.  The biggest barrier to change?  Getting staff to be happy and confident is a key part of the battle.  Here are some examples about how we can help: 

• Staff training for innovative delivery methods

• Monthly accountability sessions with management teams to review actuals against profile

• Coaching support for key staff members to develop in their roles

• Training staff to use data dashboards to drive performance

• Support and guidance to implement new sales, marketing and employer engagement strategies.

• Training and supporting staff to deliver quality IAG and carry out good learner inductions
