Aligned Solutions was delighted to be a sponsor of the Northern Star awards night of RSC Northern, based at the University of Sunderland (see http://www.rsc-northern.ac.uk/).
We sponsored the 'Outstanding e-Learning Achievement Award in Work-based Learning' which was won by the IT department of The NETA Training Group (see http://77.68.36.168/AboutUs/tabid/105/language/en-GB/Default.aspx.
Working with Mindset Technologies, NETA's IT department developed an initial assessment and profiling system for 14-18 year olds, which profiles the aptitude to appropriate qualifications from GCSE's to apprenticeships.
This was further developed into a single package which encompasses profiling, tracking, e-portfolio building, document management and a management information system.
Our Chief Executive, David Ward, takes up the story: "We've worked with the Regional Support Centre for over a year, helping develop the bid writing skills of the work-based learning organisations that RSC looks after in the region. ASL was delighted to help sponsor the event which recognised the talents and commitment of these excellent training organisations. Without them, the region would be a much poorer place.
"Overall, we helped over 50 WBL's improve their skills, with some notable successes. One provider won a £350,000 LSC contract to help young kids in Middlesbrough after we helped mentor their bid. That contract supported nine staff jobs and allowed this excellent team to continue helping the community. Others won LIG3 and 4 funding which provided much needed capital funding for IT equipment.
"I'd like to thank Christine Bravey, Brian Burr and centre manager Gareth Davies for their support and achievement during the last year. Well done to all!"
Expect more information and photos from the awards night when they become available.
If anyone needs help with their bids, ASL's mentoring service could be your answer. Drop us an e-mail from the website or call David Ward on +44(0)191 280 4238.
