## Description
The Council is seeking to establish a Flexible Framework Agreement with external learning providers for the provision of vocational education and skill-based courses for young people across school establishments.
The primary aim of this framework is to enhance the employability skills and post school pathways that will better equip our young people for the world of work. A significant focus of this framework will be to ensure adequate specialist
provision is available for our schools and programmes supporting pupils with complex and additional needs.
A key focus of this provision will be on young people pursuing well designed study courses that:
-better equips young people for the world of work
-meets their clear career aspirations linked to local labour market information
-develop meta skills identified by employers as essential when recruiting young people
-equip young people with the experiences and attributes to develop their employability skills
-have a strong focus on work related learning and occupational development.
-are levelled in the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) e.g. City and Guilds, Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC), Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI)
This framework will not include vocational and skills-based provision delivered by further education colleges/universities or under school/college partnership arrangements.
Further education colleges, primarily New College Lanarkshire, will provide many vocational education courses for young people in the council’s secondary
establishments.
