Direct Activity Sample Clauses
The Direct Activity clause defines the specific actions or tasks that a party is required to perform directly under the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the scope of work, responsibilities, or deliverables that must be completed by the party without delegation or outsourcing. For example, it may require a contractor to personally oversee a project or ensure that certain services are provided by their own employees. The core function of this clause is to ensure accountability and quality by mandating that key activities are handled directly by the obligated party, thereby reducing the risk of substandard performance or miscommunication.
Direct Activity. The majority of our recruitment-related school and college liaison work is carried out by our Student Advisory Service: a team of 4.5 full-time equivalent Student Advisors based within the Recruitment Team in the Department of External Relations. A further two staff focus on adult learners – prospective mature, part-time and postgraduate students. They work closely alongside our Widening Participation team and activities are supported by our Events Team. The central Recruitment Team then works in close collaboration with academic and admissions staff in our Faculties when subject- specific input is required. The main objective of the Student Advisory Service (SAS), working at pre-application stage, is to generate full-time, UG applications for DMU. To achieve this, the team: Raises the profile of DMU within partner schools and colleges by providing generic HE advice and guidance through events, talks and many other interactions Informs students and teachers about the opportunities offered by DMU and inspires students and teachers with DMU’s areas of distinctiveness and excellence Builds and maintains strong relationships with key staff/advisors within schools and colleges. Once students have made an application, the Student Advisory Service hand over to Faculty teams (for conversion to enrolment) and, where applicable, to the Transitions Team in Student Services to ensure that those most at risk of not successfully engaging with HE are supported to make a successful transition to DMU (see section 7). The Student Advisory Team currently works with around 140 partner schools and colleges across Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire. Activities vary according to the stage of the application cycle but typically include: Preparing for… Clearing, Admissions Interviews and/or UCAS Fairs About DMU talks A range of subject-specific talks on request, on and off campus, often facilitated by a member of the central team but delivered by a subject academic or Faculty marketing/admissions team member (course talks, revision workshops, placement talks, taster lectures etc) Inward visits including HE Experience Days (typically campus tour, student life talk, taster lecture or seminar) and subject-specific visits and workshops. In 2009/10 it is anticipated that the Student Advisory Service will: Deliver around 1000 talks and workshops for Year 12 and 13 students in schools and colleges Collect the data of...
Direct Activity. Our target for applications for 2006/07 is 25000 and we are actively working towards this. It is an ambitious target. DMU currently engages in over 500 separate events per year, comprising both staff visits to schools and colleges (including parent evening events) and visits of students from schools and colleges to the University. By these means we make contact with over 18000 year 12 and year 13 students per year. The emphasis of the visits to schools and colleges is to provide advice for the application process, on student finance, on life at the University and is aimed at parents as well as students. The focus of inviting visitors to the University is on similar topics while also giving a direct taster of DMU life and specific subject areas of interest. Our target market is largely first-generation University applicants. The majority of the schools and colleges with which we work are in inner city or inner town locations. About 25% of our students are from FE colleges. All of our work is with the public sector. We plan to expand the opportunities to bring students and parents to our campuses, as part of this agreement. Currently we host 30 such visits a year. This will increase by 50% by offering 45 opportunities to visit the University per year at an additional cost of approximately £10k. We also plan to extend the number of summer schools for mature applicants from the current one per year to six per year so that they cover all Faculties. The cost of this expansion in activity is estimated at £10k pa.
Direct Activity. Our target for applications for 2007/08 is approximately 21000 and we are actively working towards this. Student numbers from the recent transfer of our Bedford campus to the University of Bedfordshire have been removed from our target. DMU currently engages in over 500 separate events per year, comprising both staff visits to schools and colleges (including parent evening events) and visits of students from schools and colleges to the University.
