Training for the Self-Catering Industry. An Example of College/Employer Collaboration in Training for Unemployed Adults. FEU/REPLAN.
Further Education Unit, London (England).
A Local Collaborative Project was developed by an employers' association (Best of British Holidays), Evesham College of Further Education, the Department of Education and Science PICKUP Unit, and Hereford and Worcester Local Education Authority to train workers for the self-catering (travel and tourism) industry in England. During the project, contacts were established with employers, training needs for manual and clerical workers were determined, educational needs of managers were investigated, curricula were examined and new curriculum guides were developed as needed, certification was established, and preparations were made to implement a structured career program as part of the industry's move toward encouraging greater professionalism and job creation. A pilot course was conducted and reported successful, after which the curriculum was revised as needed. The project demonstrated how collaboration with industry can result in the design of an integrated program of training suitable for both unemployed and employed adults. (Curriculum materials, including course outlines and needs surveys of park operators and employees, are included in the appendixes.) (KC)
