Flexible Workforce Development Fund. The success of the College in generating non SFC income was fully demonstrated in 2017- 18 through the Flexible Workforce Development Fund delivered on behalf of the SFC. The College delivered the full budget allocated of £547k plus an additional 20% of the original budget was also claimed to support 68 Clients. The College worked with Employers from the following sectors; Hospitality, Engineering, Health Service, Local Authority, Food and Drink Operations, Care, Retail, Automotive, Manufacturing, and the Third Sector. The College will continue to deliver the FWDF in 2018 and 2019 and is planning to over achieve their Fund budget and submit a request for additional funding continuing to increase their engagement with new Employers across a wide range of sectors.

Flexible Workforce Development Fund. In December 2016 the Scottish Government announced the introduction of a new Flexible Workforce Development Fund (FWDF) to provide employers with workforce development training to up-skill and re-skill their existing workforce. The FWFD is in direct response to feedback from the Scottish Government’s consultation on the introduction of the UK Government Apprenticeship Levy. In its first year, the College delivered 42 FWDF projects for companies (one of the highest in Scotland) and will continue to build on this success throughout the period of this agreement to maximise update of funding opportunities.

Flexible Workforce Development Fund. There are two main phases of FWDF: commitment of funding and then delivery of training. In addition there are two FWDF funds relevant to the college sector: Xxxx paying employers (live from 21st October 2020) and SME organisations (live from 1st December 2020). The fund is supporting employers to address skill gaps, improve workplace productivity and adapt operations around the impact of the Covid pandemic. Commitment of funding represents employers who have successfully applied to Forth Valley College (FVC) for an agreed range of training interventions. To date, FVC has committed 66% of our 2020-21 Levy payer allocation and, despite the January 2021 lockdown, employers continue to be enthusiastic about the fund and are working with FVC to commit our remaining funds. The SME FWDF fund is newer, and as such doesn’t have the same level of commitment as yet however, we are in discussions with approximately 25 eligible employers and are working through applications with them at this time. This is a new funding stream and FVC is not concerned about the current status of funding commitment. We have been encouraged by the level of demand from SME organisations in 2021 for the fund despite the lockdown restrictions. Overall from a commitment of funding perspective employer demand levels have remained high despite the lockdown and we are confident that all funding (Xxxx and SME) will be fully committed within the allowed timescale. The extended delivery timescale of the 2020-21 fund has been welcomes by FWDF as it is enabling employers to progress with applications at this time as they have time to then plan in scheduling of training. Some employers are looking to secure funding now with a view to delivery post February 2021 when expectations are that social distancing restrictions may allow more in-person delivery. We do have an extensive range of virtually delivered courses that we are promoting to employers (particularly due to the reduced risk of being unable to deliver) and we have seen a significant uptake in demand for virtually delivered programmes in 2020-21 applications so far. Delivery of virtual training is continuing during lockdown where employers are supportive while delivery of FWDF in-person training has been hampered by the lockdown. As far as possible we have recommended online delivery, however some employers have fed back that even although they can ask furloughed employees to access training they are not willing to do this as the employees are...

Flexible Workforce Development Fund. The Flexible Workforce Development Fund (FWDF) continues to provide the college with opportunities to develop relationships with larger employers in the region and to provide excellent opportunities for the upskilling of staff to support growth at both a personal and corporate level. The college has developed its FWDF suite of courses to meet employer needs and the focus in 2019-20 will be on short courses which will also be available for delivery on companies’ premises. Our FWDF courses have received excellent feedback and there are strong pathways in place for individuals to articulate to further development through other part time courses at the college. The FWDF has helped to enhance the way the college works with large companies in the development of their workforce. Positive feedback has led to companies engaging with the college more to provide work placements, industry challenges and apprenticeships, and engage in the development of our curriculum. The priority over the next three years will be to focus on bespoke training for companies.

Flexible Workforce Development Fund. The introduction of the Flexible Workforce Development Fund (FWDF) has created new and renewed links for the College with Apprenticeship Levy paying employers. The College expects this initiative to grow and assist with the development of employer led bespoke training. Approximately 160 48 Edinburgh College employers have £15,000 available for training in the region. New opportunities have been identified, especially for digital and professional upskilling. This is creating more opportunities for adults in employment to upskill, especially in the 24-35 demographic. More broadly, the College’s self-evaluation model has changed significantly to ensure all curriculum teams consider stakeholder engagement from industry in the evaluation and planning of their course provision in 2017/18 and beyond. Edinburgh College is an active member of the three Community Planning Partnerships across the region: East Lothian, Edinburgh and Midlothian. Members of the College’s Senior Management group, in line with statutory obligations, will continue to attend and actively participate in local community planning across the region. The College is committed to, and believes in, the mutual benefit of Community Planning Partnerships, and the contribution this will make towards achieving the college’s own ambitions and strategic drivers; accordingly the college’s Board of Management has established an External Engagement Committee to actively monitor and advise on the college’s work as part of these CPPs. The College works and will continue to work with the local authorities through representation on the CPP and CPP sub groups and by delivering on key objectives contained within each authority’s Single Outcome Agreement. More detail is provided in the Regional Context Statement above. The College will align its curriculum closer to the skills gaps and shortages of employers. It will also engage more with employers and look for their support to: n Grow employer engagement in specific areas and formalise excellent practice in others by the development and implementation of Employer Councils. These bodies will be used to inform and advise on curriculum design and development. n Improve employer engagement and participation in employer forums to better align the curriculum to industry developments. n Increase the number of students who find and progress to a job directly related to their course of studies. This will be achieved through a gradual shift of provision to more employer par...

Flexible Workforce Development Fund. Our Flexible Workforce Development Funded (FWDF) provision continues to grow and respond to market and recovery demands particularly in the areas of Business, Management, Leadership, Health and Safety, and Wellbeing. Substantial relationships have been developed with around 90 regional levy employers and we are looking to further expand our upskilling and reskilling delivery with the additional funds received for this group of organisations. Phase 2 of FWDF funding has been introduced to extend to SMEs which makes up the vast majority of both Scotland and the West Region’s business base. We are working closely with our local Xxxxxxxx of Commerce, the Federation of Small Businesses, SDS and CPP partners to maximise the impact and range of SMEs being supported. Our FWDF upskilling and reskilling training is offered both on a blended and fully online basis however there are challenges with specific training which requires access to specialised workshops and equipment.
