Clients will complete an action plan and a multiple choice quiz based on the skills gaps
indicated in their assessment that will direct them to the specific resources needed. This
will allow them to identify further support or courses to attend in consultation with the
clients’ local JCP office depending on the work plan.
We have a selection of venues within the communities of ethnic minorities
groups, located close to the local job centre and travel to work areas. These venues
comply with all legislation for disability access and have comfortable surroundings with
access to toilets and kitchen areas. Travel costs will be provided; all stationery will be
provided along with refreshments such as drinks and snacks (including fruit). ‘Additional
learning support’ resources are also available.
There is evidence of a growing need for more transferrable skills in the work force and
not just a qualification. These transferrable skills are extremely valuable skills to have,
but first the client must understand how they can contribute to this. For example: What
skills do they already have and what can be developed? It is also noted that, the need to
have interpersonal skills and motivation to work is essential long before interview stage.
This evidence is based on performance data of 5 years plus experience of offering this
and similar training courses in the adult sector of learning and this specific client group.
It is our aim to provide support to clients, allowing them to develop those skills in a time
bound and specific way before the end of the course and they will have identified a
further event or course to attend in the future.
We forecast that:
100% of participants will complete a Life Skills Initial Assessment, with the results made available to both the participant and Job Centre personnel.
100% of participants will complete an Action and Work Plan identifying further resources to support motivation, resilience, sociability, professionalism, organisation, initiative, job search skills, interview techniques, and positive workplace behaviours.
100% of participants will attend the work placement and participate in live work experience, helping them prepare for interviews and engage effectively with employment opportunities.
100% of participants will achieve multiple social justice outcomes.
100% of participants will complete a time-bound, specific Action and Work Plan and successfully complete the course.
We are ready, willing, and able to provide verifiable and detailed evidence of our previous performance data, including all DWP/JCP requirements relating to start and outcome ratios, KPIs, social justice outcomes, sustainability measures, and other required performance indicators.
Client information is recorded at start and throughout the duration to notify and inform
the mapping and progress of everyone who attends a course and is registered as a
learner at our centre. We use a safe data protection system and we audit information
each month. We can provide and track all clients who attend and monitor their
performance when with us. We gather feedback and discuss course content with all our
clients to help improve our service and add to our reports for compliance visits if needed.
We use our data system to extrapolate management information to continuously
evaluate our performance delivery, quality, compliance and contractual KPI’s.
