Learner Engagement. The engagement of learners within their own learning and within the life and work of the College is critical to the quality of our service and the outcomes we achieve. Dundee and Angus College has an enviable reputation for the depth and effectiveness of these activities, offering a very broad range of opportunities for all learners to engage across the College. These activities are used to enhance the quality of learning, teaching and service delivery, whilst also supporting learners to gain additional skills, qualifications and attributes that add significantly to their employability, personal and vocational development. The Learner Engagement service is now a mature and embedded area of College activity, engaging across all curriculum areas and student groups. In addition to supporting this on-going work, key priorities over the period of this outcome agreement include a specific focus on supporting and enhancing learner retention, equality and integration, alongside capacity building for staff from across the College – supporting an expansion of good practice in positive engagement. The D&A Attributes programme is supported by our Learner Engagement and Learning Resources teams and provides learners the opportunity to develop and evidence the key attributes that our employers have identified as critical to employability and future career success. The Attributes programme is a highly innovative and flexible approach and over the duration of this agreement will become a central feature of the work of the College and will make a significant contribution to our work in Developing the Young Workforce.
