Achievement is low in AL1, 0%, for PWDs and males. However there does appear to be significant scope to increase the general achievement level by at least 10 % in order to enable it to reach the mid sixties.
The main areas of concern are tabulated as under:
Areas of Learning
AL 1(Health, Public Service and Care) has very poor figures for recruitment, retention and achievement. Apart from AL1, AL6,7 and 15 need to have much better recruitment figures for BMEs

Recruitment
Recruitment figures for PWDs though comparable to national and local statistics are extremely low and need immediate attention.

Retention
Worrying, in case of AL6

Achievement
Significant scope for overall improvement


The Action Plan for the immediate future needs to follow a management by exception path and first focus on the primary areas of concern tabulated above.
Organisational focus will need to be greater on AL1, which has very poor overall figures in all three areas, recruitment, retention and achievement. The results of this area of learning will need to be compared with those of other JHP business centres, and if possible with other WBL institutes. An intensive analysis of the course material followed, employer reactions, and student perceptions towards the programme will help in locating barriers to learning and recruitment as well as help in explaining the low retention rates.
Recruitment figures for PWDs are a matter of great concern and need to be acted upon with alacrity and method. The achievement levels of PWDs at around 50% are much higher than corresponding recruitment levels. It would be reasonable to assume that recruitment figures will be closely linked to achievement figures, an assumption that is belied by actual figures. In the case of AL6, the achievement figures of PWDs are 100%, whereas corresponding recruitment figures are less than 9%. This specific area needs to be studied and specific barriers to recruitment need to be identified for corrective action.
Increasing achievement figures are presumably a matter of ongoing activity and though reasonable seem to offer significant scope for improvement. It would again help to compare these figures with those of other JHP Training centres and assess whether there is any comparable lag that can be immediately rectified. Bibliography
