Project lead:
Glasgow Clyde College
Amount awarded:
£38,457
Project summary:

This project seeks to build the capacity of Glasgow Clyde College’s (GCC) work based assessment capability by creating a pool of occupationally competent and qualified training and assessment staff.  The aim of the project is to facilitate delivery of the new work based assessments that are being introduced to construction trades Modern Apprenticeships, particularly for those that are within scope of the CITB in Scotland.

Through significantly increasing the number of qualified assessors, the project will enable Glasgow Clyde College to provide:

  1. Work based assessments for CITB Modern Apprentices who are completing their programmes with Glasgow Clyde College (currently over 200 places with projected 30% growth in coming years).
  2. Offer this ‘Gold Standard’ service to other providers and ‘in scope’ employers across Scotland who do not have the capacity locally to fully cover the new work based assessment requirements of the CITB related MA programmes.
