Learning from JTS.
Sturgess, Jack
This report presents findings from a project to identify the role of further education (FE) in the new Job Training Scheme (JTS) in Great Britain. An introduction provides an outline of JTS. Chapter 2 reviews JTS provision in local education authorities (LEAs) and the role of LEAs and their institutions. Chapter 3 describes selection of the four case studies, which included interviews to analyze and appraise the programs in light of Manpower Services Commission (MSC) criteria for the JTS. In chapter 4, the MSC criteria are compared with a Further Education Unit REPLAN curriculum design checklist. Differing emphases are noted. Chapter 5 summarizes findings from the case studies under the headings of principles and policies, design, implementation, and evaluation and development. The conclusions in chapter 6 highlight issues of concern for local authorities and institutions under the same headings. Chapter 7 offers guidance to LEAs and colleges with emphasis on these themes: flexibility, cooperation, coordination, staffing, initial assessment, and constant review. Appendixes include the questionnaire, materials related to implementation of the JTS, statistical data, and case study reports. (YLB)
