This report presents the findings of a research project which looked at the roles of internal verifiers in relation to the organisations that employ them in connection with the operation of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs). The research was designed to look at the tangible benefits that accrue to the organisations when their employees act as internal verifiers, and the benefits that accrue to the individuals themselves. The project considered the operation of NVQs in colleges, training providers and workplaces, in the construction, business, retail and engineering sectors. Show less

This is the final report of a study of the teaching, learning and assessment of generic employability skills in the South West of England, which was undertaken by the Centre for Developing and Evaluating Lifelong Learning (CDELL), at the University of Nottingham. The aim of the project was to identify effective models of teaching, learning and assessment of generic employability skills in the South West and to identify how these are employed in schools, further and higher education, work-based learning and others supporting young people. While there is general agreement that generic employability skills are important, there is no one definitive list of such skills; instead a wide range of lists have been developed in recent years in the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and North America. [The report] identifies: the contexts within which the generic employability skills of young people are being explicitly developed; and the main qualifications that are being used in the South West to formally certify these skills. Case studies are presented that provide examples of good practice in the teaching and learning of generic employability skills in schools, further education, voluntary organisations and work-based learning programmes in the South West, and that focus on developments in the school sector which are designed to address the widespread concerns about an apparent lack of the generic skills required in the workplace amongst school leavers. One case study focuses on an innovative programme that has developed the UK’s first performance based assessment system for measuring and certifying learners’ social, emotional and behavioural skills.
