Abstract | This paper looks at the involvement of further education (FE) colleges in England and Wales in economic development and presents case studies of good practice in nine FE colleges. Chapter 1 addresses FE's role in economic development and measuring and planning economic growth. Chapter 2 contains the case studies: Lewisham College's Action for Better Lewisham Employees initiative, a strategic public sector employer partnership that contributes to the area's socioeconomic regeneration; Highbury College's support of transition from the armed forces to civilian life and from school to work; Doncaster College's role as a service provider to British Aerospace; Milton Keynes College's development of logistics training; Pembrokeshire College's regeneration activities related to marine and sea-fishing industries; positive effects on the local economy of Lewisham and Dearne Valley College's new purpose-built buildings; contribution to economic development of Barrow-in-Furness Sixth Form College; Darlington College's active role in developing social and economic partnerships; and Gateshead College's proactive approach to secure a role in economic development through membership on local planning forums. Chapter 3 offers messages for moving forward categorized into employment, enterprise, regeneration, regional strategic planning, and developing college capacity. Appendixes contain 10 references, 15-item bibliography, and list of acronyms. (YLB) |
