The Scottish Credit and Qualifications
Framework Executive team, in partnership with Skills Development
Scotland (SDS), has now completed a series of 7 video clip case
studies which showcase a range of joint projects which have taken
place over the last year.
Many of the projects were with employers in the Government
Economic Strategy key sectors and highlight a range of ways in
which the SCQF can support employers in areas such as improving
workforce development and promoting effective recruitment.
The majority of the case studies are of larger employers such as
Microsoft and Apex Hotels but there are also case studies which
highlight work being undertaken by the Scottish Youth Theatre and
individuals who have progressed within their learning with the
support of their employer.
Julie Cavanagh, Manager at the SCQF Partnership said: "We are
very pleased to have completed a number of projects in partnership
with SDS and these video clips showcase some of these projects.
They also importantly highlight the versatility of the Framework
and the many ways in which it can be used to support employers"
Many of the clips can be found in the learners parents and
carers, and employer section of the SCQF
website.
Danny Logue, Director of Operations at Skills Development
Scotland, added: "We have been working closely with the SCQF to
support learners and to help businesses develop their workforce.
Through this partnership, SDS is helping to identify businesses
which support projects in Scotland's key sectors and to work with
them to strengthen their skills base - a key input to support our
industries' progress back to significant growth."
The SCQF Partnership has now embarked on filming a further 7
case studies many of which will highlight the projects we have been
undertaking with organisations that work with young people. The aim
of this work is to encourage more learning provision which
recognises the achievements of young people including those in the
More Choices More Chances group, to be recognised on the Framework.
The further 7 case studies should be completed by the end of the
year.
