- Summary:
-
This document is designed to help British training and enterprise councils (TECs) and further education (FE) colleges develop and implement strategies for achieving the National Targets for Education and Training (NTET), which were developed by the Confederation of British Industry in 1992 and endorsed by the British government. The findings from case studies of 14 FE colleges are synthesized, and guidelines for achieving the NTET are presented. The document includes sections on the following topics: (1) increasing participation (helping learners participate, management information systems, student support services, collaboration, messages); (2) retention and dropout (why students leave courses early, strategies for minimizing dropping out, problems to recognize and overcome, recommendations); (3) enhancing basic skills support (enhancement of basic skills and the relationship to the NTET, definition of basic skills, aims and rationale, changing models, differentiated support, staff development, progress, recommendations; (4) supporting industry (investigating the training levels and needs of specific industries, delivering training and development to small firms, promoting National Vocational Qualifications to small- and medium-sized enterprises); (5) developing self-reliance, flexibility, and breadth (auditing curricula for breadth); and (6) conclusions (strategic implications, collaboration, benefits to colleges). Appended are the original NTET and an updated set of targets. (MN)
