The languages covered through this area of our curriculum are French, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Mandarin, Greek, Icelandic, Japanese, Polish, Portugese and Russian. Forth Valley College recognises that the changing climate will have far reaching effects on Scotland\u2019s economy, people and environment. Consequently, the commitment to carbon reduction remains a key strategic objective for the College, within the college mission statement of \u201cMaking Learning Work.\u201d Carbon reduction forms part of the overall sustainability agenda, for which the College initially received recognition at the College Development Network Awards in December 2014, and continues to progress a \u201cwhole college approach\u201d with the introduction of the Environmental Association of Universities and Colleges (EAUC) Learning in Future Environments (LiFE) initiative. The LiFE initiative adopts a self assessment tool for 4 key themes- each with their own objectives; \u2022 Leadership and Governance\u200c \u2022 Estates and Operations \u2022 Partnership and Engagement\u200c \u2022 Learning and Teaching Our vision is to continue to lead by example in all our activities and to ensure that learners are aware of the impact their actions will have, on the environment. This commitment is supported by the College Green Sustainability Statement that is approved annually by the Board of Management and Senior Management Team. The College, through its partnership with the EAUC and re-signing of the Universities and Colleges Climate Commitment for Scotland (UCCCfS) has developed a Carbon Management Plan (CMP) which replaces the previous Climate Change Action Plan under the Carbon Trust. The College estate has altered considerably since the CMP baseline year of 2008-2009, with the opening of our new campus in Alloa (2011) and new campus in Stirling (2012) both of which received the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) Excellent rating. The college remains on target to reduce t(CO2) levels by 25% from the baseline figure of 2873.35tCO2 by the year 2020. The figures from August 2015 illustrate a cumulative 17.78% reduction from the baseline year to date. Annual carbon reporting for Public Bodies Duties in the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 will be mandatory for the entire sector from 2016. Forth Valley College participated in the trial submission year in 2015 to the Sustainable Scotland Network (SSN) at Keep Scotland Beautiful, as part of the Public Sector Climate Change Duties Reporting\u201d requirements. The College continues to liaise with all partners on these requirements including Resource Efficient Scotland, EAUC, SSN and Keep Scotland Beautiful The CMP forms only part of the overall College Sustainability agenda. The College Sustainability Committee consists of various college support and teaching departments along with the student association. The Committee set key performance indicators and continue to monitor progress. These key performance indicators include printing, travel, energy and utilities, health and wellbeing, sustainable procurement, waste, Fairtrade, embedding sustainability into the curriculum along with citizenship and employability. Forth Valley College plays a key role in the economic development activity of Forth Valley through working with and supporting local and national employers and our connections with Scottish Enterprise, SDS and the priority sectors. Succession planning and workforce development needs are key to this activity where we provide extensive Modern Apprenticeship provision, work-based learning and up skilling and a range of tailored services for companies and their employees. The College is fully committed to delivering economic regeneration including the STEM national priority, (we have recently been reaccredited with STEM Assured status from NEF), and supporting key sectors including Energy, Creative Industries and Hospitality and Tourism. Furthermore the College delivers significant services for Construction, Business, IT and Health and Social Science. Forth Valley College is one of the largest College providers of Modern Apprenticeship (MA) training and contributes significantly to the achievement of Scottish Government and SDS priorities. Our MA provision directly supports key sectors of the Scottish Economy with significant activity in Engineering, Science, Hospitality and Salon Services, Management, Business Administration and Construction. Our record for successful delivery of MAs has also attracted non-government funded places through key sector bodies such as SECTT, SNIPEF, BEST and Construction Skills. We continue to achieve higher than average attainment rates for learners undertaking MA provision as well as higher than average achievement rates. Although 2015-16 was a challenging year with the drop in the oil price causing a dip in engineering apprentices we are still confident of maintaining and building our MA provision with a proposed target for direct starts of 280 in 2016-17. We have experienced a strong increase in construction MAs and plan to develop this further with additional SDS funded places as well as apprentices from the sector bodies Through this increase in directly funded starts along with substantial provision in indirectly funded students we still plan to increase our Modern Apprentice provision to over 1,200 students by Session 2017-18. In Creative Industries, the Digital Media Modern Apprenticeship is a ground-breaking new initiative to support and develop trainees in the fast-paced environment of digital media production for print, online, television and radio broadcast. The course is the first of its kind in Scotland, working with the National Union of Journalists and Creative Skillset to transform media trainee opportunities at apprentice level. The first cohort has attracted engagement with industry and apprentices across Scotland, including Scottish Television, Herald and Times Group, Daily Record and Sunday Mail and Romanes Media Group. Over the past year we have been working towards a Graduate Apprenticeship (GA) model in association with \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 University. The need identified was for trained technicians as well as industry-ready graduates and this programme was seeking to allow different exit points to meet these requirements. The technician portion of the programme sets the core engineering concepts that can then be built upon towards professional engineering qualifications. In 2015-16 we have been piloting HND and PEO2 provision alongside work experience and company led project activity. The concept however has evolved further and the drive from SDS is for the graduate apprentice to be employed from day 1 and to have a substantial proportion of the programme being work based for both the college and the university elements. We are now working with both Heriot Watt and Glasgow Caledonian universities as well as some key employers to develop this further and look at how we can integrate into a work based programme ensuring the employees acquire the skills, knowledge and competence necessary to work and progress in the engineering sector. Development of this will be undertaken in 2016/17 with a target to recruit and operate the programme from August 17. Employer engagement is right at the heart of Forth Valley College\u2019s business model and our mission of \u201cMaking Learning Work\u201d means making learning work for employers, as well as for students. One of our six strategic themes is \u201cEnhancing our position as the business and community partner of choice\u201d and we deliver on this through a whole-college approach to meeting employers\u2019 current and future skills needs. Every department has a responsibility to develop effective and mutually beneficial relationships with employers, ranging from partnership working to create opportunities to enhance employability skills for full-time students, through to the development of bespoke training courses and facilities for employers. We work with companies from the smallest, local, social enterprise through to multi-national corporations and pride ourselves in meeting their diverse range of needs and challenges. The College was shortlisted for the TES FE Awards 2016 in the category of Employer Engagement, for the extent and breadth of our engagement with employers, and also in the category of Modern Apprentice Programme of the Year for the bespoke MA and training programme for Building Service Maintenance that we developed alongside FES Facilities Management Ltd. Forth Valley College has very strong links with industry across our courses in all teaching Departments, with employers having significant input into course designs, and in many cases, courses developed specifically for employers. The Business Development department supports the activities of all the teaching departments and provides a client management service to ensure employers fully understand the progression of their employees and the requirements for gaining industry cognised qualifications. Our commitment to working with employers is at the forefront of our teaching departments ensuring we are meeting the needs of the industry sectors in which we operate. The Electrical Instrumentation and Chemical Engineering (EICE) and Applied Science, Maths and Mechanical Engineering (ASMME) departments continue to work with Scottish Power to reflect on- going needs in the sector from craft apprenticeship, adult apprenticeships and higher level awards. Cross departmental working between the client managers in Business Development and the lecturers in both departments ensure that we are adapting and flexing elements of the training programme to ensure the apprentices are work ready and skilled for their progression out into industry. The ASMME Department continues to work closely with Shell UK and Ireland in the delivery of courses for the up skilling of Shell Technicians to Shell specific standards within the College environment using our bespoke training facilities. The ASMME Department also worked closely with Shell to successfully deliver the bespoke hydraulics course that were delivered on Shell\u2019s Braefoot Bay site using their live plant. Through our success with the Energy Skills Challenge Fund and our connections with the Chemical Sciences Skills Investment Plan, the EICE Department is also working with three local companies to develop a bespoke up-skilling instrumentation course to resolve the issue of suitably trained instrumentation personnel. It will be targeted at electrical trades\u2019 people and be offered on a one day per week basis to match the company\u2019s utilisation of key staff. We have also recently started discussion with GSK and Ineos O&P to develop a transition programme for automation engineering skills and this could be widened out to other employers within the chemicals sector. Our partnership with Scottish Power continues to grow with the College now providing training for their apprentices, Transition training for up-skilling, training for their contractors, along with delivery of their Advanced Apprenticeship course to HND level. Our Science department continues to develop strong links with the Life Sciences Skills Investment Plan implementation and is participating in a joint working group between education and industry in relation to the requirements for the life sciences MA. The department has recently changed our model of delivery to be a straight two year programme rather than a roll on roll off and this has attracted new employers to the college namely Quotient and SASA. We continue to deliver a number of successful short courses in conjunction with local employers such as Process Optimisation and Safety in Microbiology. The College is also working in partnership with a local food manufacturer to develop bespoke training relative to fish pathogens. This company has struggled to source this training and the College has stepped in to support industry by developing the entire training programme which will be delivered by FVC staff predominately on the company\u2019s site. HND Applied Biological Science, HND Applied Chemistry and HNC/D Chemical Process Technology were reviewed with employers to review course design. There continues to be significant employer engagement with the delivery of the Applied Biological Science Degree that was developed jointly with the University of Stirling. The College has also been awarded pathfinder funding to develop Foundation and Graduate apprenticeship programmes in Engineering, and is currently working in partnership with 2 Falkirk High Schools for the Foundation Apprenticeship and Heriot Watt University for the Graduate Apprenticeship. Delivery of both programmes is set for 2016-17. The College has also taken the decision to pilot a \u2018vocationalised\u2019 HND in 2015-16 as a precursor to the Graduate Apprenticeship by conjoining the HND in Mechanical Engineering with the SPEO2 group award qualification. The College is currently in discussion with a number of local Employers and Heriot Watt University to further support this programme with plant placements to enhance the academic and vocational aspects of the course and embedded meaningful, realistic work related skills. The College has also been recently awarded STEM accreditation from NEF: The Innovation Centre, where the College was commended for its strong leadership related to STEM and the strength of the College\u2019s employer engagement over a range of Curriculum areas. Within our Business department work placement questionnaires have been developed to gain employer feedback on the work readiness of our learners, which in conjunction with the learners\u2019 supervisor report, is used to shape course content for future cohorts, and also to provide feedback and personalised support for current learners. The recent successful introduction and development of our Heritage and Conservation degree programme has continued to receive support and advice from industrial contacts including Historic Scotland, Stirling Council Archaeological Services and members of the Scottish Tourism Alliance. In accounting meetings have taken place between accounting practitioners and FVC teaching staff to try and develop work experience programmes and to review our current programme content. These reviews ensured our programmes equipped our HN Accounting students with the skills and knowledge needed to help them gain employment in this field. We were also recently able to develop a small work experience programme in accounting with a major employer from the construction sector. The Department has also developed a bespoke Management Training Programme with FES. Eight FES employees operating in a in a range of management roles (Project Managers, Operations Managers, Contracts Managers and Supervisors) commenced studying HNC Management and Leadership programme with the College. The programme content was tailored to suit the FES CPD requirements and the delivery model has been shaped to fit into the clients busy working patterns. Learners on the programme study by a combination of day release and twilight/evening classes with additional online support. The Department of Construction in partnership with Stirling based Facilities Management group FES FM have created a new fully equipped training facility to train Building Service Maintenance Modern Apprentices (MA\u2019s) over the next 5 years. The MA\u2019s will be recruited from throughout the United Kingdom and trained to SVQ level 3 at the Alloa Campus facility. In October 2014 the partnership was awarded the best in \u201cLearning and Career Development\u201d category at the prestigious annual UK British Institute of Facilities Management (BiFM) awards event held in London. In partnership with \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 Construction, Historic Scotland, Scottish Canals and the Civil Engineering Contractors Association the Department is developing a wide range of new vocational and Higher Education programmes in line with industry requirements, the Department has in addition, through effective employer engagement secured work experience for learners and opportunities for college staff to participate in Continuing Professional Development training and events.", "size": 4, "snippet_links": [{"key":
