1. Introduction Work Based Learning Has Come To Be Accepted As An Important ...

Work based learning has come to be accepted as an important avenue for upgrading skills and abilities of people who have been unable to complete formal school and college education and are thus disadvantaged in their quest for suitable and lucrative employment opportunities in comparison with their more fortunate peers. These disadvantages, which arise primarily from compelling social, educational, and economic factors, and force young men and women to drop out during the later years of school or decide against taking up a college education, result in lower employability, lesser income, reduced growth prospects and job mobility, general dissatisfaction and frustration, and unhappier total life experiences.

Work based learning, an educational avenue that has gained in prominence during the last two decades, focuses on providing learning, and upgrading of skills and abilities, in many disciplines, and is defined as a coherent sequence of career awareness, exploration, job training and experience activities that are coordinated with school-based learning activities.

There are work-based learning activities appropriate for every grade level and courses, provided at a number of specialised institutes that have emerged all over the UK. Work based learning is, very appropriately, more relevant for comparatively disadvantaged sections of society like minorities, and people with disabilities, and gender disadvantages, who have greater probability of being excluded from the advantages of comprehensive school and college education.

This report aims to study the results of a sample of such people studying at JHP Training Birmingham vis-à-vis recruitment, retention, and achievement, and analyse the results for possible causes as well for the formulation of an appropriate Action Plan for implementation. The report is structured into successive sections that briefly deal with JHP Training Birmingham and work based learning, followed by a detailed analysis of the data available, and an action plan detailing appropriate conclusions and recommendations. The report has relied extensively on information available through JHP websites and programme literature, supplemented with original information available with the preparer.
