Yesterday I had a meeting with the college brokers team leader David Bullock (his job entails meeting local employers in order to explain what the college has to offer and persuading them to use the college FT- PT courses and work-based learning courses to enhance the skills of their employees as a route to improved business performance.
I went through the goals of the project with him and briefly demonstrated the lifeRay prototype to him; he was very interested in the portal and envisaged this gateway could potentially be an additional marketing tool for promoting the college courses and services. As he is in regular contact with employers, he is aware of the employers concerns and he has approved of most of the designed functions.
He pointed out that the college has not yet published a prospectus for work-based learning courses, but they do have various lists of courses available from the college faculties. He suggested that the employers should be able to search for work-based learning courses grouped by location/subject on the portal.
He mentioned that the portal should have a link where employers can suggest a course to SURF colleges.
The broker team leader agreed to alert more employers about WBL WAY portal in his future meetings.
