Challenges for Derby College/Curriculum Planning ? Key Challenges for Curriculum Planning/Resource Planning for Derby College in order to meet the revised Funding Methodology for provision?

Skills Funding Agency Cuts in the public Sector Introduction of 24+ Advanced Learning Loans (Level 3 or 4) in order to share the burden with the individual Reductions in Adult Skills Budget Focus on Local Priorities Get Employers to PAY MORE!!! (Or at all!) Introduction of a simplified Funding Methodology Employer/provider confusion of multiple funding rates/multiple funding streams Funding earned 80% on-programme, 20% upon achievement, qualification by qualification and no longer on a provider factor. Challenges Encouraging more Apprenticeships in a Difficult Economy Diversification of Income and collection of more tuition fees from all sources
