3 The Strategy - Expanding the role of the ACP College partners and Brookes wish to work together to grow the market for higher level qualifications and attract more HE students We recognise the challenge of future public sector funding and that growth in HEFCE numbers for fully funded students is limited The demand for enhanced skills within the UK workforce presents an opportunity to engage with employers locally & regionally Individuals and employers appreciate that they will need to pay increased fees and may require more bespoke programmes in return

4 The Problems facing the UK economy UK economy is emerging from the recession – those organisations that develop their human resource capital will come out first and strongest Business is changing – the world is now a very different place – customers, supply chains, technology etc are all evolving Employers need people who are able to adapt, respond to new opportunities and have a range of skills Retaining talent is one of the biggest challenges facing business 4

5 The Solution – ACP Workforce development The Employer defines the training needs and skills gaps in their business. Together we design the programme content and delivery mechanism Flexibility – higher level skills can be delivered in the workplace, in bite-sized units, at a time and cost to suit the business and the individual Accredited Qualifications – the individual employee receives Credits for each piece of learning. They improve their skills while working. They can balance other life commitments while building a career portfolio and a CV 55
