College Strategic Plan - 2022 - 2025

Developing an innovative and agile curriculum that meets the needs of our students and communities. Exceptional Curriculum Developing and delivering a dynamic and evidence informed curriculum, that meets the needs of local communities and the wider city region, ensures that we are preparing our students and apprentices to compete for the jobs of the future. Employers shape and inform our curriculum to maximise our impact on the growth and productivity of local businesses. A key strength of the College is the breadth and depth of our provision for both Knowsley and St Helens residents and employers. The College’s inclusive curriculum also enables the most marginalised and disadvantaged groups, many of whom are in low paid or part-time employment, to access learning. We continue to engage with our students throughout their lives, through opportunities to re-train for a new career or upskill for a different role or promotion. 6 To achieve this goal, we will: • remain responsive to emerging skills and employment needs through the co-development and co-delivery of curriculum in partnership with employers, and by placing business intelligence at the core of curriculum strategy and planning. • further develop internal progression opportunities for our students, including a refreshed and expanded higher education and higher/degree apprenticeships offer. • continue to provide an inclusive curriculum, which actively promotes equality, diversity and a strong sense of belonging to the College community. • provide innovative and flexible delivery methods for learning, including blended/distance approaches that maximise the use of digital technologies and build on experiences from the pandemic. • ensure curriculum is underpinned by a key theme of net zero carbon and sustainability.
