Projects
Understanding and delivering the training needs of a group of related organisations.
WHO IS IT FOR?: Any collection of organisations, in any sector, that would benefit from joining forces to address staff skills gaps and training needs.
CASE STUDY: The pilot focused on the development and implementation of a pilot business educational framework for public service sector organisations and was developed by Southampton Solent University, Southampton City Council, Southampton Primary Health Care Trust, Southampton University Hospitals Trust and Southampton City College
ABOUT: This project was designed to consider the individual requirements of a group of public service organisations in order to determine the common areas of need, the areas with marginal differences and the unique areas.
The education and training requirements were then matched against their existing provision, whether from accredited suppliers, current employer in-house provision or commercial suppliers. This then enabled an action plan to be developed to address the shortfalls, highlighting any priorities areas and the cascading of good practice.
The action plan developed the necessary education/higher skills provision to address the shortfall in the existing provision, with an aim to commence delivery to pilot groups of students during 2010. The framework has been constructed such that it is self sustainable and open to development by the addition of other participating organisations.
