College overview and developments. The pursuit and achievement of high quality learning, teaching and learner experiences is a key driver for the College, featuring strongly within our vision, purpose and ambitions. Comprehensive systems are in place to review and enhance curriculum quality, planning, outcomes, and target setting. These systems include detailed self-evaluation by academic and support teams and audit, feedback and review arrangements involving the Board of Management, Executive, Learners, Staff, Employers, and Awarding/Certification Bodies. The College has kept abreast of developments arising from the SFC/Education Scotland Action Learning Pilots and in 2015/16 has developed its quality arrangements to provide opportunities for a rolling input from our College HMIe. This input is designed to add value to our internal quality arrangements and provide Education Scotland with a more rigorous understanding of quality systems and outcomes, including College progress in respect of our ROA and DYW plans. Levels of learner retention and success have been maintained at “sector leading” levels in recent years.

This focus on learner engagement will continue throughout the duration of this outcome agreement, with additional emphasis placed on the tracking, signposting and enhancement of employability, enterprise and wider essential skills under the banner of the “D&A Attributes” to ensure that learner engagement activ...

College overview and developments. ‌ The delivery of high quality learning, teaching and learner experiences is a key driver for the College, featuring strongly within our vision, purpose and ambitions. Comprehensive systems are in place to review and enhance curriculum quality, planning, outcomes, and target setting. These systems include detailed self-evaluation by academic and support teams, a drive on Business Intelligence to make data-driven decisions and audit, feedback and review arrangements involving the Board of Management, Executive, Learners, Staff, Employers, and Awarding/Certification Bodies. High levels of learner retention and attainment continue to be maintained with further enhancement to these in 2017/18, but the College is not complacent and an on-going focus will ensure that high level successful outcomes are the norm. As one of five Colleges taking part in the second year of the Scottish Government Retention and Attainment project, the College is committed to continuous improvement for itself and by supporting improvements for the sector as a whole. In addition to a clear high performing quality trend, the College will make further enhancements to ensure that learner outcome levels in all curriculum areas are above national average. Further steps will also be taken to measure and enhance the quantitative and qualitative post course success data available to the College, and to use this data to directly inform improvements in learning, teaching and curriculum design. The D&A ‘Future Talent’ initiative builds upon the strong work undertaken to establish the D&A Attributes. With a clearer focus on careers information, advice and guidance, Future Talent is a whole College approach to employability and enterprise. This initiative links together a number of national strategies and priorities, including Developing the Young Workforce, Career Education Standards, Work Placement Standards for Colleges and the Development of Learner Employability in Scotland’s Colleges. In 2018 the College launched a new Digital Strategy, which provides a key vision and direction for building digital skills within both staff and learners to enable them to learn, work and live in the 21st century. This strategy is backed by a clear self-assessment route and comprehensive professional development support to enhance skills and meet our objective of all having all staff certified as competent digital users.

College overview and developments. The publication of the Developing the Young Workforce Strategy has highlighted the critical importance of the work that the College undertakes in partnership with our regional and national employers, employer agencies, central and local government. Dundee and Angus College recognises that a sustainable and growing economy can only be achieved by the concerted efforts of these agencies and organisations, and throughout this agreement will play a central leading role in building the effective partnerships necessary to meet this objective. To ensure that the College makes the optimum contribution to the development of the workforce, locally, regionally and nationally we continuously review and develop our curriculum relative to regional economic need and are further developing our aims and objectives to embed a focus on economic growth, employability and enterprise within all of our activities. The College is focussed on the full range of activities necessary to deliver economic growth, including the creation and embedding of a series of D&A Attributes within our student body which will ensure that our students are actively sought after by employers.
