  2. “We’re still quite a fragmented industry and whilst we obviously have to respond to our own individual challenges, there’s a real place for working together and collaborating to meet the overall national need.” Neil Baldwin, Chair of the National Skills Academy for Nuclear Enter the Skills Academy...

  3. Overview • The interim evaluation report highlights progress in the first year of the National Nuclear Gateway Project (NNG). • This presentation is based on the following sources: • 2 waves of primary research with employers (with 54 employers in total) • Process evaluation interviews with each of the 5 Strand Managers and the NNG Project Manager

  4. Performance and Risk • The process evaluation has highlighted good progress against project objectives. Strand 3 for example, the industry portal, is already attracted interest from around the world, ahead of its official pilot and launch. • There is a solid approach to identifying and dealing with risk, with strong connections to the wider business. • There is evidence that the project is evolving in response to industry feedback; for example in Strand 4, providers stated a clear preference for shorter interventions which has been adopted. • While the 4 project strands have been developed independently, mechanisms exist to ensure knowledge transfer and sharing of lessons and progress. Going forward, plans are in place to present a more unified view of the National Nuclear Gateway to employers and the sector.

  5. Updated BaselinesTracking key metrics on investment in skills, satisfaction with members of the HQPN, Apprentice recruitment and productivity

  6. Learning Points • For Strand 1a, defining what is required and managing employer expectations can be problematic – and IT issues have been time consuming to link to the Skills Passport, and not universally supported • Employer consultation has suggested an alternative route for Strand 1b, and also highlighted the need for Skills Academy staff to engage with non members (in this case recruitment agencies) • Strand 2 market demand is an unknown, but this may be an easier sell following the Sellafield pilot. A presentation has been prepared to communicate the benefits of Strand 2 in response to employer feedback. • Strand 3 is performing well and lessons from the (protracted) contracting phase are now being applied more widely. • For Strand 4, the key learning point is the need for RM support to broker interchanges, using the trust built up with these customers

  7. Conclusions • The project is on track overall (although strand 1 is behind for a number of reasons). Overall, the NNG project has deployed itself effectively with a measured and meticulously planned approach over the first year to create the conditions on which skills and productivity outcomes can be achieved going forward. • Looking forward the conditions are positive to integrate this work into the ‘Capability Model’ being created by the National Skills Academy and achieving sustainability through assimilation into the National Skills Academy ‘parent body’. • The Skills Academy and partners should be applauded for their willingness to adapt in response to employer demand – for example by adapting the format to suit training providers in Strand 4. • Further piloting and market testing are required across all strands

  8. Recommendations The report contains 14 interim recommendations to consider. Overarching recommendations include: • Ensure sufficient market testing is carried out, whether as part of the pilot or through customer feedback (Strand 4) • Develop enhanced marketing materials to highlight the combined effect of the NNG programme • Ensure that the desired outcomes of the UK Commission are ‘kept in sight’ throughout the pilot phase • Review each strand against the UK Commission’s sustainability checklist and potential in light of the development of the Capability Model • The

  9. Next Steps Planned Activity for Investment Stages 5 & 6 Ongoing Process evaluation • Quarterly updates with staff • Team meeting attendance • Review of all available secondary and primary M&E evidence Primary Research • Annual training provider survey • Strategic partner survey • Focus groups with Strand 1b, 2 and 3 participants • Before and after interviews with interchange / masterclass participants
