This report gives practical advice to unemployed people wishing to attend further education establishments while retaining their right to unemployment and/or supplementary benefits. It also provides advice and examples of good practice to colleges to encourage claimant study, explores ways to develop successful programs for unemployed people, and discusses some current issues in further education relating to study for the unemployed. Section 1 introduces the general topic of learning while unemployed. Section 2 explores ways colleges can make provision for claimants through identification of needs, provision and promotion of programs to satisfy those needs, provision of guidance, curriculum balance, provision of supportive assessment, and attention to specific needs of adults. Section 3 focuses on deploying resources to contain the costs. Conclusions are set forth in Section 4. Appendixes, amounting to over one-half of the report, include a basic explanation of the unemployment and supplementary benefit system, a basic explanation of the benefit system as it relates to studying, examples of provision made by colleges for unemployed students, sources of help and advice for claimants/students, information on part-time education for the unemployed, recommendations for open learning provision, and a curriculum planning checklist.
