NATIONAL SKILLS PRIORITIESThe Provider should take account of both local and national skills needs when developing the curriculum offer.
NATIONAL SKILLS PRIORITIES. In April 2023, the Department for Education released a list of national sKills priorities, which will be addressed within this accountability statement. These sectors are: LANCASHIRE 2050 – EMPLOYMENT AND SKILLS The Lancashire Local Authority Leaders recently launched Lancashire 2050, which sets out shared ambitions for the future of Lancashire against eight priorities, including employment and sKills. The Lancashire SKills and Employment Board brings together industry and education, sKills and employment providers and local authorities, and is responsible for driving forward the employment and sKills theme in the locality. The Lancashire SKills and Employment Hub, the strategic body which supports the worK of the Board, worKs in partnership with the Xxxxxxxx of Commerce. The North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, as the lead employer representative body on the Lancashire Local SKills Improvement Plan (LSIP), has worKed closely with employers and providers to help develop a greater understanding of what employers require from the sKills system. This worK resulted in the publication of the Plan in August 2023 which highlighted the Key priorities of employers and laid out a roadmap to address these priorities. Common across all sectors were concerns among employers about people leaving education being ‘worK ready’ with the ‘right attitude’ to worK and learning. Alongside specific shortage areas in each priority sector there were constant themes around the increasing importance of digital sKills across different job roles across all sectors and a lacK of understanding how the move to net zero and improved sustainability will affect businesses, jobs and sKills. During the next phase of the LSIP, the Chamber has continued to worK closely with providers focusing on the collaboration with employers and raising awareness of their sKills offer. There is a strong partnership approach in Lancashire with The Lancashire Colleges (TLC) group worKing in partnership with the LEP, the Lancashire Local Authorities, the SKills Hub and the Xxxxxxxx of Commerce, with the colleges worKing collegiately to solve the sKills challenges in the local economy. The Lancashire SKills and Employment Hub produces a suite of excellent Labour MarKet Intelligence (LMI) data sets. The College has utilised these data sets since 2017 to inform its Strategic Plan and curriculum offer; specific reference to this will be made later in the Accountability Statement as to how this LMI data w...

NATIONAL SKILLS PRIORITIES. On 15 April 2023, the government published its national skills priorities. This identified key curriculum areas where recruitment needs are suspected to be particularly acute in coming years. • Construction • Manufacturing • Digital and Technology • Health and Social Care • Haulage and Logistics • Engineering • Science and Mathematics • It also asks providers to prioritise a small number of high-quality programmes with a proven track record of delivering good outcomes for learners (T levels, skills bootcamps and apprenticeships) • It recognises that sixth form colleges are more focused on academic provision and will not necessarily be involved in more vocationally focused programmes, but asks us to consider how we provide an offer that enables students to progress in priority areas • xxxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.xx/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/11496 95/DfE_accountability_agreement_guidance April_2023_FINAL.pdf The destination map for Xxxxx Xxxxxxx College groups the university outcomes for our students by broad curriculum area. Our largest curriculum area is biological sciences, with 10.9% of students progressing to courses in these areas.

We can also look at how our progression rates to different courses compares to progression in other sixth form colleges.

If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then ten days' notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, attorneys' fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee's request, Xxxxxxxxx shall assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

  • Uniform Commercial Code The Uniform Commercial Code (Florida Statutes, Chapter 672) shall prevail as the basis for contractual obligations between the Contractor and the County for any terms and conditions not specifically stated in this Invitation for Bids.

  • Commercially Useful Function A prime consultant can credit expenditures to a DBE subconsultant toward DBE goals only if the DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF). A DBE performs a CUF when it is responsible for execution of the work of a contract and carries out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself that it uses on the project. To determine whether a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, the Department will evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the DBE credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors. A DBE will not be considered to perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, the Department will examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30 percent of the total cost of its contract with its own work force, or if the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, the Department will presume that the DBE is not performing a commercially useful function. When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function as provided above, the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption. The Department will determine if the firm is performing a CUF given the type of work involved and normal industry practices. The Department will notify the consultant, in writing, if it determines that the consultant’s DBE subconsultant is not performing a CUF. The consultant will be notified within seven calendar days of the Department’s decision. Decisions on CUF may be appealed to the ADOT State Engineer. The appeal must be in writing and personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the State Engineer. The appeal must be received by the State Engineer no later than seven calendar days after the decision of XXXX. XXXX’s decision remains in place unless and until the State Engineer reverses or modifies BECO’s decision. ADOT State Engineer will promptly consider any appeals under this subsection and notify the consultant of ADOT’s State Engineer findings and decisions. Decisions on CUF matters are not administratively appealable to USDOT. The BECO may conduct project site visits on the contract to confirm that DBEs are performing a CUF. The consultant shall cooperate during the site visits and the BECO’s staff will make every effort not to disrupt work on the project.
