18 New commissioning round 14/12/16, with successful projects likely to commence from Summer 2017 onwards. SIF funding will support the following areas: a) New technical skills pathways (new build and refurbishment projects). Specialisation opportunities include construction technology and aviation b) Priority sector improvements e.g. specialist high cost equipment for learners SIF - Skills Capital Framework c) Improving diversity and the life chances e.g. through improved training environments for those with Special Education Needs and those furthest from the labour market 18
19 Prospectus of Requirements Karon Brownbill City Region Employment & Skills Team
20 What I will cover: Application Conditions Appraisal Conditions Eligibility Skills Capital Investment Framework New Technical Skills Pathways Sector Improvements Improving Diversity and Life Chances Applications Stages & Submission timeline 20
21 Application Conditions The SIF will fund projects requesting a minimum of 250,000, but smaller projects can be combined to form packages or programmes Opportunity for partnership applications between employers and further education providers and consortia applications from training provider bodies or local authorities (must be legally able to enter into a contract on behalf of all the named partners) 2 or 3 Stage process stage 2 & 3 combined for projects less than 3m Upfront and non refundable fee from Stage 2 onwards to cover due diligence (appraisal, legal and financial costs) Provision for repayable loans (where appropriate) as well as grants per the overall SIF programme (and to follow the same principles and processes) 21
22 Application Conditions (2) One application form (Strategic Outline Case) per each skills capital project under area (a) Technical Skills Pathways For areas (b) Sector Improvements and (c) Improving Learner Opportunities one application (Strategic Outline Case) per each project or package of linked activities A single organisation can submit more than one application i.e. if they have multiple projects they are seeking funding for The process is competitive and demand is likely to exceed the available funding Round 1a submission deadline: Noon, Wednesday 25 January
23 Appraisal Conditions All applications subject to appraisal by independent consultants to HM Treasury Green Book Standards Preference will be given to proposals that provide value for money and lever additional private sector investment into the Liverpool City Region (assessed via the independent appraisal process) Scoring criteria will prioritise projects that clearly demonstrate evidence of employer support / joint partnership projects Each project will be assessed using the standard SIF appraisal criteria (i.e. a 5 business case model) and governance process, with the addition for skills capital applications of an educational case appraisal Governance - Appraisal and decision making processes compliant with the Liverpool City Region SIF Assurance Framework with Government In addition a prioritisation process will take place across all themes at SIF programme level 23
24 Eligibility The SIF Skills Capital theme is open to applications from the following organisations: General FE Colleges Sixth Form Colleges Employer Providers who offer apprenticeships and other training provision to staff and supply chains (including SME s) through their own provision Group Training Associations (providers led by a board of employers); Universities (who deliver or plan to deliver Higher and Degree Apprenticeships as a key part of their project) Skills Funding Agency (SFA) registered voluntary and community sector training organisations and social enterprises; (via the Register of training organisations or Register of Apprenticeship training providers) SFA registered Community learning providers including Local Authorities Other Skills Funding Agency approved training providers 24
25 Technical Skills Pathways For new build/major refurbishment to deliver L3+ (roughly A-Level equivalent) technical skills capabilities. To support specialisation based on identified gaps: Catapult Centre Model(s) e.g. to support skills training for sensor and low carbon engineering technologies to be accelerated within businesses Construction Technology Centre to support skills training for new build construction technologies and industry specialists Aviation College could include pilot training, aviation management, air traffic control, fire and rescue and ground operations (aligned to local Airport needs & impact on wider sector ) 25
26 Investment Principles Case for investment must be compelling with clear evidence of sustainable revenue funding for the project Employer engagement & support must be evidenced and joint partnership applications between employers and providers are welcome Single or consortia/partnership applications will need a named lead applicant Projects can be single or multi site within the Liverpool City Region Projects must offer high value added & be complementary to existing skills provision Looking to approve one application per specified project type (e.g. one Construction Technology Centre, one Aviation College) 26
27 For STEM, priority sector and other high volume employment sectors. To support: Equipment - Specialist high cost equipment purchase Learning environment - raising the standards of learning environments to improve progression opportunities to further learning and employment incl. degree apprenticeships New low carbon technologies - improvements to building energy management of learning facilities Higher Education (HE) within Further Education - capital support to enable greater volumes of learners and a broader curriculum New year old learner pathways to priority sectors - incl. real workshop environments Sector Improvements 27
28 Investment Principles Aim is to extend and improve the existing quality of learner pathways (onto further learning and relevant employment) rather than to enable providers to enter into completely new areas of provision Successful projects will provide the skills employers need but can t currently obtain in sufficient quantity/quality Development of Degree Apprenticeship opportunities through employer partnership and provider consortia applications welcome Must demonstrate how the capital investment will unlock genuine curriculum innovation and improve the quality of delivery (e.g. in the use of industry standard equipment or real work environments for the successful retention, application and achievement of vocational skills by learners) Proposals should not be for general maintenance or improvement to the Further Education or other applicant s estate (other than to reduce the carbon footprint) or be for generic improvements across a wide range of sector subject areas 28
29 Improving Learner Opportunities To support diversity and life chances (via premises adaptation and/or equipment purchase) Focus on specific groups of learners e.g. NEETs, BAME groups, learners with learning difficulties and disabilities (LLDD) and those with Special Educational Needs (SEN) English, Maths and Digital learning upgrades Equipment to improve the building energy management of learning facilities (including for energy generation/storage) Facilities to widen the accessibility and quality of employment provision 29
30 Investment Principles Enhancing choice, increasing learner volumes and positive outcomes including employment or progression to further learning for a diverse group of learners Minimum of 250,000 of SIF investment still applies, but consortia applications welcome (subject to eligibility) Projects can be packaged to benefit one or multiple groups of learners and at one or more sites Improve curriculum accessibility and quality of the learning environment for unemployed adults, NEET, BAME, LLDD and SEN groups 30
31 Application Stages 2 or 3 Stage application process (depending on funding level): Stage 1 Strategic Outline Case (SOC) (all applicants will need to complete this stage initially) Stage 2 Outline Business Case (OBC) (for projects invited to proceed from SOC stage) Stage 3 Full Business Case (FBC) (only for those projects seeking over 3m of SIF Funding and having already passed OBC stage) Stage 2/3 Combined (OBC/FBC) NB for projects seeking less than 3m of SIF Funding, Stage 2/3 will be combined to reduce investment decision timelines Round 1a is inviting Strategic Outline Case applications only at this stage (titled Stage 1) under the sub-themes of A) C) - The application process uses a proportionate approach, with greater levels of detail sought as the project is developed through each stage 31
32 Application Process John Corish City Region Employment & Skills Team
