Future Trends. One of the major challenges facing the social services sector in the coming years will be the demographic changes taking place in Scotland. The composition of the population is changing with the number of older people in the population growing. In 1911, people who were over 65 accounted for 5% of the population, and in 1951, 10%. In 2001 they constituted 16%, but by 2020 this age group is expected to make up 21% of the population. The growth of the over 80s is proportionately even more rapid. In 1911, less than 1% of the population was aged 80 and over, and in 1951 the figure was still only 1%. However in 2001, this had risen to 4% and by 2031 8% of the population will be aged 80 and over. Consultation evidence suggested that the ageing population will lead to an increase in demand for care services. This is based on the assumption that those above retirement age have traditionally been the main users of care services. However, the patterns of care may well change over time, with a greater demand for housing support services and home care workers driven by an increased policy emphasis on supporting people in their own homes. One major implication of such a change in delivery would be that the relative demand for residential care places would decline over time, or at least remain static. This suggests that an ageing population will impact on the care sector, but that the impact will be uneven and dependent on policy direction and emphasis. It could be concluded that an older population will need a greater degree of care. However, evidence has suggested that older people are generally healthier “age for age” (and will continue to be healthier) than in previous years. In effect, people are staying healthier for longer and so are better able to be self sufficient for longer. So although the population will become older, it is not to say that the burden of care will increase by the same proportion. This is still contested, with an alternative view that people will live longer but will need care services due to higher levels of chronic illness. Prediction of the likely workforce implications of these changes is problematic but work has begun to try and build future scenarios that take into account the demographic projections discussed above. Stage 3 of the SSA work will take this scenario planning further forward. However, assuming that the population predictions are accurate, that there are no sudden policy shifts, and that there will be no changes in the curre...

Future Trends. Networking services become ever more important in the economy and the everyday operation of most business. Together with increased complexity come also increased requirements from the users of these services, as they rely on them for their productivity. These trends make the existence of a properly designed SLA document very important, both for the users of the service, and for the provider of the service, who wants to avoid excessive and unpredictable liability. The critical nature of networking services in modern business environment requires strict and unambiguously defined rules and agreements. This evolution is certain to continue in the future, which will result to the greater need for complex but clearly written, usable and real-world functional SLAs.

Future Trends. The future will see a continuation of the recent pattern of increasingly sophisticated and mature relationships between resource companies, Indigenous communities and other stakeholders (e.g. government and not for profit sector). In particular, the following trends are emerging:  Focus on long term relationship building: Resource companies have learned that Indigenous relations are not a one-off exercise focused on the agreement-making process. Rather, companies are recognising the need to build long term, mutually beneficial relationships with Indigenous groups in order to maintain their ‘social licence to operate’. Agreements are increasingly aimed at cementing long term relationships rather immediate access to land. See Part 5.  Emphasis on sustainability of benefits: Benefits from resource projects offer Indigenous groups the opportunity for long term, sustainable solutions to Indigenous levels of disadvantage. Through income flows, training and employment opportunities, and business development, resource projects can contribute to ‘closing the gap’ in living standards between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. The capacity of agreements to provide inter-generational benefits for Indigenous groups is increasingly recognised as the hallmark of good agreement-making. Mining companies such as Rio Tinto have sought to design royalty packages and governance arrangements in agreements with this objective in mind. See Parts 4 and 5.

Future Trends. 4.3.2.1 The characteristics of the proposed site area will be subject to significant change as the land becomes available for development. The future environment will include new road networks, i.e. the proposed Road D1, Road D2, Route 7 and its associated slip roads, within the Telegraph Bay Area. As a result, increased road traffic activity is anticipated for the region which will likely lead to an increase in the ambient levels of gaseous and particulate pollution.

  • History The two Boards approved a "Proposed Plan to Further Simplify and Facilitate Transfer of Credit Between Institutions" at their meetings in February 1996. This plan was submitted as a preliminary report to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee in March 1996. Since that time, significant steps have been taken toward implementation of the transfer plan. At their April 1996 meetings, the Boards appointed their respective sector representatives to the Transfer Advisory Committee to direct, coordinate, and monitor the implementation of the proposed transfer plan. The Transfer Advisory Committee membership is listed in Appendix D. Basic to the work of the Transfer Advisory Committee in refining transfer policies and implementing the transfer plan has been the re-engineering project accomplished by the North Carolina Community College System, especially common course names, numbers, credits, and descriptions. The Community College Combined Course Library includes approximately 3,800 semester-credit courses written for the associate degree, diploma, and certificate programs offered in the system. Colleges select courses from the Combined Course Library to design all curriculum programs. Of approximately 700 arts and sciences courses within the Combined Course Library, the faculty and administrators of the community colleges recommended approximately 170 courses as appropriate for the general education transfer core. The Transfer Advisory Committee then convened a meeting on May 28, 1996, at which six University of North Carolina faculty in each of ten general education discipline areas met with six of their professional counterparts from the community colleges. Through a very useful and collegial dialog, these committees were able to reach consensus on which community college courses in each discipline were acceptable for transfer to University of North Carolina institutions as a part of the general education core. This list of courses was distributed to all University of North Carolina and community college institutions for their review and comments. Considering the recommendations of the general education discipline committees and the comments from the campuses, the Transfer Advisory Committee established the list of courses that constitutes the general education transfer core. This general education core, if completed successfully by a community college student, is portable and transferable as a block across the community college system and to all University of North Carolina institutions. With the establishment of the general education core as a foundation, joint academic disciplinary committees were appointed to draw up guidelines for community college curricula that will prepare students for intended majors at University of North Carolina institutions. Each committee consisted of representatives from each UNC institution offering such major programs and eight to ten representatives from community colleges. The Transfer Advisory Committee distributed the pre- majors recommended by the faculty committees to all University of North Carolina and community college institutions for their review and comments. Considering the faculty committee recommendations and the campus comments, the Transfer Advisory Committee established pre-majors which have significant numbers of transfers from the community colleges to the University of North Carolina institutions. The special circumstances surrounding transfer agreements for associate in applied science programs, which are not designed for transfer, require bilateral rather than statewide articulation. Special circumstances include the different accreditation criteria for faculty in transfer and non-transfer programs, the different general education requirements for transfer and non-transfer programs, and the workforce preparedness mission of the technical/community college AAS programs. A major element in the proposed transfer plan adopted by the two boards in February 1996 is the transfer information system. Simultaneously with the work being done on the general education and professional specialization (major) components of the transfer curriculum, the joint committee on the transfer information system laid out a plan, approved by the Boards of The University of North Carolina and the North Carolina Community College System, "to provide students with accurate and understandable information regarding the transfer of credits...[and] to increase the adequacy and availability of academic counseling for students who are considering a college transfer program." In addition to the printed publications currently being distributed to students, transfer counselors, admissions directors, and others, an electronic information network provides (1) electronic access to the articulation database which will include current transfer policies, guidelines, and on-line catalogs for public post-secondary institutions; (2) computerized common application forms, which can be completed and transmitted electronically along with transcripts and other education records; and (3) an electronic mail network for transfer counselors and prospective transfer students. Access to the e-mail network is available in the transfer counselors' offices and other selected sites on campuses. The final element of the transfer information system is the Transfer Student Academic Performance Report. This report, recently refined with suggestions from community college administrators, is sent annually to each community college and to the State Board of Community Colleges. These data permit the rational analysis of transfer issues and are beneficial to students and to educational and governmental decision-makers. This performance report provides the important assessment component necessary for evaluating and improving the transfer process. Appendix C Transfer Advisory Committee Procedures Articulation between the North Carolina Community College System and The University of North Carolina is a dynamic process. To ensure the currency of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA), occasional modifications to the CAA may be necessary. These modifications may include the addition, deletion, and revision of courses on the transfer list, development and/or revision of pre- majors, and changes in course designation (i.e. additions to UGETC list or changing a course from general education to elective). The TAC will receive requests for modification only upon the recommendation of the chief academic officer of the NCCCS or UNC. Additions, deletions, and modifications may be subject to faculty review under the direction of the TAC. Because the modification process involves faculty and administrative review, this process may require up to 12 months for final action. Additions to the Universal General Education Transfer Component Courses currently included on the approved transfer course list may be considered for inclusion as a Universal General Education Transfer Component (UGETC) course through the following procedures:

  • Onboarding The parties acknowledge that the City provides a new employee orientation (onboarding) to each new employee hired by the City. As such, the Union will be provided with not less than 10 calendar days’ advanced notice of the time, date, and location of the onboarding of any new employee represented by the Union. The Union will be given 30- minutes at the start of the new employee onboarding in a room designated by the City for no more than one (1) representative to present Union membership information. The City representative will excuse him or herself during the Union portion of the onboarding. The Union agrees in its portion of the onboarding not to engage in speech that could cause disruption or material interference with City activities. The City will provide 30 minutes of Union Release Time to the Union representative presenting the Union membership information during the scheduled onboarding. The Union shall provide the Union representative’s immediate supervisor with the Union representative’s name at least five (5) days prior to the onboarding. The Union representative shall be released for this purpose unless unusual operation needs interfere with such release in which case the Union representative’s immediate supervisor will provide a written explanation of why release could not be approved. If the Union representative is not released due to department operational needs, the Union representative may arrange an alternative date and time to meet with the newly hired employee within the first two

  • RECOGNITION OUTCOMES The receiving institution commits to provide the sending institution and the student with a Transcript of Records within a period stipulated in the inter-institutional agreement and normally not longer than five weeks after publication/proclamation of the student’s results at the receiving institution. The Transcript of Records from the receiving institution will contain at least the minimum information requested in this Learning Agreement template. Table E (or the representation that the institution makes of it) will include all the educational components agreed in table A and, if there were changes to the study programme abroad, in table C. In addition, grade distribution information should be included in the Transcript of Records or attached to it (a web link where this information can be found is enough). The actual start and end dates of the study period will be included according to the following definitions: The start date of the study period is the first day the student has been present at the receiving institution, for example, for the first course, for a welcoming event organised by the host institution or for language and intercultural courses. The end date of the study period is the last day the student has been present at the receiving institution and not his actual date of departure. This is, for example, the end of exams period, courses or mandatory sitting period. Following the receipt of the Transcript of Records from the receiving institution, the sending institution commits to provide to the student a Transcript of Records, without further requirements from the student, and normally within five weeks. The sending institution's Transcript of Records must include at least the information listed in table F (the recognition outcomes) and attach the receiving institution's Transcript of Record. In case of mobility windows, table F may be completed as follows: Component code (if any) Title of recognised component (as indicated in the course catalogue) at the sending institution Number of ECTS credits Sending institution grade, if applicable Mobility window Total: 30 ….. Where applicable, the sending institution will translate the grades received by the student abroad, taking into account the grade distribution information from the receiving institution (see the methodology described in the ECTS Users' Guide). In addition, all the educational components will appear as well in the student's Diploma Supplement. The exact titles from the receiving institution will also be included in the Transcript of Records that is attached to the Diploma Supplement. Steps to fill in the Learning Agreement for Studies P Additional educational components above the number of ECTS credits required in his/her curriculum are listed in the LA and if the sending institution will not recognise them as counting towards their degree, this has to be agreed by all parties concerned and annexed to the LA
