Engaging Employers and Developing Skills at the Local Level in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

This report looks at how to better engage employers in apprenticeship and other work-based skills development opportunities that support local economic development objectives. It also sheds light on a number of key lessons and policy principles for improving business-education partnerships in emerging sectors of the Northern Ireland economy.In-depth fieldwork has also been undertaken to identify successful implementation practices at the local level. The aim was to understand the interaction between national and local programmes and policies, while offering practical advice to improve co-ordination and the participation of employers based on international best practices.

Developing Schools as Learning Organisations in Wales

Wales (United Kingdom) considers the development of schools as learning organisations as vital for supporting schools to put its new, 21st century curriculum into practice. A growing body of research evidence shows that schools that operate as learning organisations can react more quickly to changing external environments and embrace changes and innovations.
This report aims to support Wales in this effort, gauging the extent to which schools have put into practice the characteristics of learning organisations and identifying areas for further development. It also examines the system-level conditions that can enable or hinder schools in Wales in developing as learning organisations. It offers a number of concrete recommendations for consideration by the Welsh Government and other stakeholders at various levels of the system.
The report will be valuable not only for Wales, but also to the many countries that are looking to establish collaborative learning cultures across their school systems.
