Access and Inclusion Strategy Sample Clauses

Access and Inclusion Strategy. Edinburgh College has a vital role to play, both in society and the economy, in terms of widening access to enhance social mobility and reduce unemployment, improving employability, increasing work-integrated learning opportunities and entrepreneurial skills, up-skilling the workforce and engaging with universities and industry to provide the best possible opportunities for employment or further study. There is a firm commitment to access and inclusion for all students: the new Access and Inclusion Strategy is informed by, and supports, the Regional Outcome Agreement, the Equality Report and the College’s Strategic Plan. Publication of the Equality Impact Assessments agenda provides a clear focus for informing key strategic decisions. The College will continue to collaborate with community partners to ensure sufficient provision is made available to those in our region most at risk of not achieving a positive outcome. In session 2017/18, Price Group 5 (previously DPG 18) comprised 5.5% of all core activity. We will strive to widen access and increase participation from the most deprived areas in our region and we will continue to enhance social mobility by engaging with our most ‘hard to reach’ communities, broadening the offering of ACE courses for PG5 students and strengthening links with special education needs schools. We want to ensure that all students feel respected and have equality of opportunity in terms of achieving their aspirational goals. Our primary aim is to support all students in successfully completing their programmes of study and equip them with the knowledge and skills required for progression into employment or further study. We believe that access and inclusion for all students helps to tackle the economic and social challenges in our communities and encourage and enable all of our students to ultimately become independent citizens.
