* APPROXIMATELY 10,000 YOUNG PEOPLE WILL TAKE PART THIS YEAR
BACKGROUND ON RPA LEGISLATION From September 2013, 16-17 year olds must stay in education or training, up to 18th birthday by Sept 2015. FUNDING Mainstream education providers must meet Study Principles for EFA funding: English and Maths support (those without GCSEs A-C) Funding per learner for 600 hrs p.a. SFA funding has been protected for the next academic year Given the new environment how do we change the way we deliver our programme?
Three possible team programmes • Keep Team at 12 weeks (420 GLH) but increase Literacy and Numeracy support • A shorter 9-week Team programme (315 GLH) • A 15-week Team with embedded Literacy and Numeracy (600 GLH)
BENEFITS OF THE 12-WEEK TEAM • time to engage with young people • can embed literacy and numeracy • fits with existing FE progression opportunities • model works for both SFA and DWP
BENEFITS OF THE 9-WEEK TEAM • Engage with more young people, run 4 Teams a year • Young people can progress from Team into other FE provision within their 600 hours • Short, focussed programme including Enterprise elements • Potential for Delivery Partners to draw down increased funding
BENEFITS OF THE 15 WEEK TEAM • Embedded literacy and numeracy throughout programme • Better progression structure and opportunities for young people on the programme • Formalise current recruitment work to be included in core programme structure
* MORE THAN 70% OF UNEMPLOYED PARTICIPANTS GO ON TO JOBS, TRAINING OR EDUCATION WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF COMPLETION
QUESTIONS • Do you currently see Team as a viable programme to run for September 2013? • The DfE have granted protection for three years to colleges to make sure they can still run courses they have already planned. Do you intend to continue to fund Team using this protection for the next 1/2/3 years? • Do you see Team as a beneficial programme to help progress young people into FE routes?
