A case study approach was used to analyze the commercial training markets for further education (... more A case study approach was used to analyze the commercial training markets for further education (FE) colleges in Sheffield, England. The following aspects of training supply and demand in Sheffield were examined: regional employment market (occupational structure and economic outlook); size, value, and segmentation of the training market; competitive position of the 732 Vol Coombe Lodge Reports From a detailed analysis and re-interpretation of data available from these sources, a reasonably comprehensive analysis of the commercial market for training can be made, sufficient for the formulation of strategic options and decision-making in respect of target market segments, product development and investment, resource allocation, publicity and promotion. This exercise would tend to reinforce the view, finally, that well-known, relatively simple and tested marketing principles and techniques can be brought to bear on this aspect of public sector provision.

The Raising Quality and Achievement Program is a 3-year initiative to support further education (... more The Raising Quality and Achievement Program is a 3-year initiative to support further education (FE) colleges in the United Kingdom in their drive to improve students' achievement and the quality of provision. The program offers the following: (1) quality information and advice; (2) onsite support for individual colleges; (3) help with benchmarking; (4) college-based development programs; (5) leadership assistance for governors, principals, and team leaders; and (6) regional practitioner networks and quality forums to develop and promote good practice. During the project, the objectives of raising student achievement have been re-evaluated and the policy assumptions underpinning discussions of student achievement have been identified. Data on the retention and achievement rates at all FE colleges in the United Kingdom have been collected, and their reliability has been assessed. The assessment revealed that achievements are being underreported for several reasons, including the incapacity of many FE colleges' management information systems (MIS) and the low priority given by some teachers to recording achievement data in MIS. The question of how high to aim when striving to improve student achievement was explored, and examples of successful application of the following strategies in various types of FE institutions and programs were identified: classroom-level interactions; learning pathway; and college policy and leadership.
