Ofsted have released five papers examining effective provision of post-16 vocational teaching and learning. The research was gathered by conducting over 100 visits to colleges which provided courses in business, administration and law; science; engineering and manufacturing technologies; construction; planning and the built environment; and agriculture, horticulture and animal care.
The best providers are those which:
- Have subject specialists, who have considerable experience in industry, technology and the relevant vocation
- Have strong links to local employers and business, this often results in sponsorship and/or donations
- Conduct continuous assessment of the students to ensure they are on the right track, have appropriate individual targets and swiftly identified and supported those at risk of falling behind
- Had good leadership and management
Some providers tailored the provision by offering learning on business premises.
However, weaknesses in the use of ICT was found.
