Quarter
1 Update – November 2015.
Do
you know what’s been happening at Oracle in the last 3 months…?
·
A 49% of those learners with
milestone targets in the last 3 months met those targets! This is not good
enough and we have set systems in place to improve this for our January report.
Deliverer’s will be working hard with you to ensure that this percentage
improves for our quarter 2 report; so that more of you are supported but also stretched
and challenged to reach your potential. Our target is 80% of milestones met by
Quarter 2!
·
We have had 77 new learners started
on programme with us since 1st August! 35 Apprentices;
28 Traineeships, 5 Study Programme learners, 4 school learners and 15 adult
learners! Welcome to all new learners!
·
60% of our learning sessions were
graded good or better in our September class observation cycle. These grades
were based on the new Ofsted Inspection Framework.
·
42 learners have successfully
completed their Learning Plans in the last three months! Well done you!!
·
93% of those learners leaving and
achieving their framework have had a positive destination; either into a job,
going self employed or progressing onto an Advanced Apprenticeship or Further
Education.
·
We are still recruiting for our
Traineeship programme. This programme is for individuals who are not ‘job
ready’ and need work experience and support before progressing onto an
Apprenticeship. If you know anyone who would be interested in this programme,
get them to contact our centre and we can book them in for an interview and
check their eligibility.
·
Tell us what you think! Our learner
survey is open currently for all existing learners to complete. If you still
have not completed the survey ask a member of staff how to get on the link.
Other
Interesting facts about Oracle’s development …….

·
92% of Employers in a recent survey,
completed by our funding body, stated they would recommend Oracle. Thank you!
We will continue to strive for excellence and look forward to working with both
existing and new Employers during 2015/16.

Our first trip to Italy is in the
final stages of arrangement, thank you to all learners, parents and salon
owners who attended our recent information evening. The first 15 learners will
be winging their way to Bergamo on the 17th January for 16 days. If
you are interested in going on the next trip out in May, please ask your
trainer/assessor for an expression of interest form. I know quite a few of you
want to go; so get your forms in early!!
