Core and Essential Skills Sample Clauses

Core and Essential Skills. ‌ The importance of Essential Skills, which include Core Skills, in developing students’ skills for life and work, has been recognised at a national level in the Scottish Government’s Essential Skills Strategy and at a local level in the Fife College Learning and Teaching Strategy. The default position of Fife College, as articulated in the Core Skills Policy, is that the Core Skills of Communication, Numeracy and ICT will be embedded or integrated into FE programmes wherever practicable and, where they are delivered discretely, contextualised within the vocational area. (The Core Skills of Problem Solving and Working with Others are normally embedded within full-time programmes.) A Core Skills Specialist has been assigned to each curriculum area, and independent, self-directed study of Core Skills will be encouraged through the development of blended and technology-assisted approaches. A Core Skills Development Group has been established which will lead the further evaluation and development of integrated and contextualised Core Skills provision. The other areas of Essential Skills, according to the SQA definition, are Enterprise, Employability, Sustainable Development and Citizenship. The College recognises that Essential Skills have become at least as important as vocational skills to employers and will implement an Essential Skills Policy in 15/16. This will clearly define the skills and personal attributes underpinning the SQA categories and provide a framework their development within the curriculum.

Core and Essential Skills. Fife College recognises that Essential Skills are as critical as vocational skills to employers and is committed to the development of these skills as part of the overall student experience for all programmes of study. The College Essential Skills Policy sets out a clear definition of Essential Skills and the College’s approach to providing opportunities for their development. A Core Skills screening tool is used to support learners’ Core Skills development. The software is supporting the early stages of the Learner Journey during the recruitment process by reporting core skills levels to inform support interventions. The Essential Skills landscape can appear complex. It is therefore vital that Essential Skills are clearly communicated and understood by all concerned. The concept of the T-shaped person is used effectively in industry and education to describe the desired abilities of people in the workforce. This model is currently being adopted across all curriculum areas and a bespoke version, showing the most important Essential Skills for relevant industries or professions has been created for each curriculum area. These models will be displayed and reinforced by staff as a key promotional tool to explain and support the wider skills needed for students to be work ready.
