External Dependencies. It is acknowledged that reaching some of the targets will be dependent on factors outside CMETB’s control. Realising the Skills to Compete ambition will be related to the base of unemployed people available for reskilling; retrofitting skills will depend on available demand from industry; green skills will be dependent on SOLAS making an online module available via eCollege. This will be taken into account along with the volatile and rapidly changing external environment, with the appropriateness of the ETB targets continuously monitored and adjusted if required. Five of the national system targets (jobs; progression within FET; transversal skills; lifelong learning; and key skills needs) were also the focus of the first Strategic Performance Agreements, albeit with definitions set when data infrastructure was at an early stage of maturity.

This was also helped with the development of a new strategy statement for the ETB. Establishment of a structured and Developing an integrated quality assurance system. Providing system for FET across the basis ETB, which provided a platform for a successful engaging in its inaugural quality review with by QQI. Throughout Resilience of staff in responding to the pandemic CMETB was able pandemic, and now to maintain its engagement the Ukrainian situation. The ETB is now well versed in crisis management which is important with learners, with key learner-focused activities and infrastructure, leading to such a maturing qualitative volatile world at present. Greater focus on ensuring the learner voice database to track progress shapes provision, including via learner fora and provide evidence for future decisions to be made around provisionlearner representation on key groups. The TEL Strategy and supported infrastructure, together with significant upskilling of staff, were critical in ensuring CMETB could respond during the pandemic. Wider Professional Learning and Development (PL&D) supports are also being provided to assist in the upskilling and reskilling of FET staff in line with the FET College of the Future. CMETB is using Transforming Learning, the Future FET strategy, as a central reference point in driving its development and this agreement is structured in line with this strategic framework below: <.. image(Diagram Description automatically generated) removed ..> Jobs: Return employment outcomes to 2019 levels and grow by a further 10% by 2024 1,265 1,328 1,392 Skills to Compete: Deliver 50,000 places to support those who lost their job to find a pathway back to sustainable work 1,176 1,235 1,297 Progression within FET: Return progression movements within FET to 2019 levels and grow by a further 10% by 2024 1,300 1,365 1,433 Progression from FET-HE: Grow levels of progression from FET- HE by 10% by 2024 255 275 300 Transversal Skills: Return certification at NFQ levels 1-3 to 2019 levels and grow by a further 10% by 2024 1,200 1,260 1,323 Widening Participation: Return participation levels by key target groups to 2019 levels and resume growth 766 804 845 Adult Literacy for Life (ALL): Increase provision for literacy and numeracy 3,350 3,685 4,054 Lifelong Learning: Return engagement in lifelong learning to 2019 levels and grow by a further 10% by 2024 4,300 5,000 5,500 Skills to Advance: Continue to grow workforce upskilling enrolments 760 800 850 Key Skills Needs: Grow the number of places addressing key skills needs 1,200 1,260 1,323 Green Skills for All: Embedding of core green skills module across FET courses 1,000 2,000 3,000 Given the overall national FET system targets set for 2022-24 and the trends across each of these indicators over the period 2018-2021, the following targets have been agreed between SOLAS and CMETB for delivery under this strategic performance agreement.>
