Outreach and Access Sample Clauses

The Outreach and Access clause defines the obligations and procedures for making information, services, or resources available to a specified audience or group. Typically, this clause outlines how parties must communicate, distribute, or provide access to certain materials, such as educational content, support services, or program benefits, ensuring that intended recipients are effectively reached. Its core practical function is to guarantee that outreach efforts are conducted in a manner that maximizes accessibility and inclusivity, thereby addressing potential barriers and ensuring equitable participation or awareness.
Outreach and Access.  In 2018/19 we are planning a number of events to target the primary school cohort and we are aiming to engage 700 primary school students throughout once again. This will range from one off interactions to a series of progressive and higher intensity off campus and on campus events. We will also continue our successful numeracy and literacy programmes with local primary schools, including Reading Buddies, a long-term scheme focussed on very deprived parts of the region.  As well as collaborative working as part of Aimhigher West Midlands, Aston has been delivering intensive and long-term mentoring and tutoring to secondary school learners at all Key Stages. We will expand the number of student mentors and tutors working in targeted regional schools and colleges, both in person and via e-mentoring. This is one-to-one, highly targeted intervention and provides measurable impact, in-line with OFFA’s guidance. 1 See Polar3 map of UK ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇/analysis/yp/POLAR/Map,of,young,participation,areas/ 2 Gaps in young participation in higher education; ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇/analysis/yp/gaps/  We will continue to organise our hugely popular Access to Professions and will be increasing the opportunities available to young people to engage in events which are linked to employers from the region. We will also be building on the launch of two new employer engagement events in June 2017 with CADCOE (design and technology in Engineering) and Healthtec (careers in medical fields.)  The University provides pre-entry careers support and guidance for any school/college requesting the service. Aston University’s ‘Pre-Entry Employability Adviser’ provides on and off-campus support to Year 11 pupils and sixth formers. We commit to continuing this support in 2018/19, providing invaluable guidance in line with the government’s aims3 to support young people through their decision-making.  Aston University has strong links with the Aston Engineering Academy. This has involved members of the University Executive playing an active role on the board of governors and contributing to strategic decision making, as well as providing a band of mentors to work with 15-16 year olds. From 2018 Aston University will be strengthening their links to the academy through the creation of bespoke progressive programmes delivered both on and off campus to support the raising attainment of key cohorts of students.  Raising attainment work with AUEA will include: - 100% of year 10 stude...

Outreach and Access. 5.1 As identified in our earlier Access Agreements, Keele University is committed to raising aspirations and awareness amongst all potential student cohorts currently under-represented in Higher Education, to enable them to make informed and effective decisions regarding their further educational and career choices. Given the proven value of the current outreach and access work being undertaken, this Access Agreement outlines our plans to extend and strengthen the current offer. 5.2 Keele generally performs well in the HESA Performance Indicators on Widening Participation compared to its benchmarks, and has therefore set challenging targets as shown in Annex B (Milestones). We have found, however, that in the rapidly changing Higher Education environment these targets have become harder to achieve. We are, therefore, keeping them under regular review and will adjust or expand our outreach and access activities where review demonstrates that to be necessary. 5.3 The outreach provision outlined in this Agreement will be delivered via the University’s Schools and Colleges Partnership Programme (Keelelink). More than 200 schools (primary and secondary) and FE colleges are currently members, giving them access to a wide range of activities designed around a ladder of engagement. Appendix A (Ladder of Engagement) summarises our existing outreach schemes targeted at different groups including learners, parents/guardians and teachers/advisers. 5.4 Intensive activities like Access to Keele (A2K), Access to the Professions and Summer Schools will be directly targeted at students from WP groups – which Keele has identified as: We try to prioritise, where appropriate, work based learners and students with no, or non- traditional, qualifications. 5.5 The University’s central outreach team is committed to supporting academic Schools and Faculties in the delivery of subject-specific outreach activity and, where appropriate, WP targeting. OFFA-accountable funds are being made available to support targeted activity.

Outreach and Access. Our formative evaluation is well established and considers the quality of the activities and outcomes of sessions we provide. A variety of standardised questionnaires are used before and after events with students and staff establishing not only that the content is suitable and relevant but also that activities raise aspirations and increased motivation to study. During 2013-14 significant progress has been made in developing more robust systems for gathering data and summative evaluation of the longer term impact of our access activities. Key to this work has been the new Student Experience Data Officer who works closely with the Widening Participation team to use relevant data regarding pupil attainment and progression to HE. This is enabling us to establish patterns between engagement in our outreach activities and application and entry to St Mary’s. We will also use the Toolkits and the Higher Education Academy Archive to develop our practice. St Mary’s membership of collaborative organisations also affords opportunities to develop and apply evaluation and monitoring methods to illustrate long term impact. For example, Aimhigher London South Ltd use contacts to develop a range of data sharing protocols with several Local Authorities to map the progression and destinations of students who participate in activities and a centralised database provides AHLS member institutions with a consistent evaluative process to measure both the quality and impact of events. AccessHE are also developing methods of tracking destinations across London for those who have taken part in collaborative activities and have purchased data from UCAS on progression to HE by POLAR quintile to assist in this. The Student Experience Data Officer also monitors and analyses the HESA data on the benchmarks set in our Access Agreement for targets and milestones for access and success. It is expected that this work will be even more fully developed during 2015-16 and we are particularly keen to extend our monitoring and evaluation activity to include employability levels amongst under-represented groups. The work of our Learning Advice team was outlined in section 3 and they will be key in monitoring the progress being made for those students in under-represented groups, some of whom may have been identified pre-entry and progress to St Mary’s. The scholarships officer monitors and evaluates the take up of financial support. Furthermore, the University is currently participating in the S...

Outreach and Access. The University of Suffolk is committed to providing aspiration and attainment raising activities for under-represented groups across Suffolk and Great Yarmouth and encouraging them to apply for HE. This will include continuing to work in a structured way with schools and colleges with low progression rates, as well as with communities with low participation rates, including mature and part-time students. It is proposed that a proportion of the additional fee income will be allocated to specific measures designed to increase access. The University will invest approximately £386,000 in outreach and access in 2017-18. Outreach activity will include: • Growth of long term sustained outreach activity with young people from primary age upwards in carefully targeted schools and colleges in Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and beyond. Schools and colleges will be targeted based on the HEFCE Cold Spots data showing overall low participation; and low participation when the factors of GCSE attainment and ethnic profile have been taken into account. • Maintenance and expansion of intensive outreach activity such as summer schools, taster days, campus visits and family awareness days, that have proven to be most successful in our evaluation and tracking of activity • Further development of subject-specific aspiration-raising events such as the Health and Social Care Conference, STEM activities and Creative Arts Conference • Development of progression agreements and a continued focus on outreach work with students that apply through a progression agreement. Progression Agreements will increasingly include opportunities to provide subject-specific aspiration-raising activity with younger age groups (e.g. Year 10/11) • Outreach activity with other targeted community groups e.g. mature students, military families, ethnic minority groups, care leavers, young carers, those wishing to study part- time and, in particular, parents • Resources, including maintaining outreach staff and the student ambassador scheme • Expansion of the subject specific ambassador programme, where current students contribute to outreach activity to inspire and enthuse young people to consider degree level study by running taster sessions in their subject area • Development of IAG materials on student finance and the UCAS application process, and materials specifically for mature and part-time students, and parents • Activity within and in support of the Equality and Diversity Committee, which reviews and mon...

Outreach and Access. In order to support access for students with the potential to benefit from a University of Essex education, we will invest a proportion of higher fee income in delivering outreach activity. In 2015-16 our dedicated outreach team worked with 12,500 beneficiaries from over 130 schools in the eastern region. We recognise the influence that parents, carers, teachers and advisors have on young people and therefore include them in our work where appropriate.

Outreach and Access.  We will expand our already extensive outreach to Primary School learners (and their parents/ teachers/advisers) to ensure they recognise university as part of their future. For example, in July 2015, ▇▇▇▇▇ hosted the City of Birmingham Children’s University graduation ceremony for 147 primary pupils, and will do so again in July 2016. In 2015/16 a total of 700 primary school students were hosted on our campus, some in partnership with Enabling Enterprise and others with local Aimhigher University partners. We will also continue our successful numeracy and literacy programmes with local primary schools, including Reading Buddies, a long-term scheme focussed on very deprived parts of the country such as Nechells, Sparkbrook and Small Heath.  As well as collaborative working as part of Aimhigher West Midlands, ▇▇▇▇▇ has been delivering intensive and long-term mentoring and tutoring to secondary school learners at all Key Stages. We will expand the number of student mentors and tutors working in targeted regional schools and colleges, both in person and via e-mentoring and mentors. This is one- to-one, highly targeted intervention and provides measurable impact, in-line with OFFA’s guidance. Since much of our activity takes place in some of England and Wales’ most deprived wards, including Yardley, Small Heath and Soho, this work will continue to address the low progression rates of BME and genders into higher education programmes.  To encourage access to the professions, Aston University has been involved with the Pure Potential organisation since 2007 and are a Gold Partner of its Access Professions website, highlighting our support of the A2P agenda. We will continue to organise our hugely popular Access to Professional Careers and Beyond Year 12 conferences for Year 11-13 students in partnership with graduate employers and professional institutes. In February 2016 we took more than fifty Year 12 pupils to PwC’s offices for a day of academic and expert practitioner guidance on careers in accountancy and auditing. Pupils attended from Sussex, Essex, Manchester and the West Midlands.  The University provides pre-entry careers support and guidance for any school/college requesting the service. ‘Pre-Entry Employability Advisers’ provide on and off-campus support to Year 11 pupils and sixth formers. We commit to continuing this support in 2017/18, providing invaluable guidance in line with the government’s aims3 to support young people through their decisio...
