 Over the last 17 years Jisc has provided expert advice and
practical support to help organisations achieve their
objectives and enhance performance using technology.
 We help organisations to get the most from technology,
enabling them to reduce costs, work efficiently, adapt to
change and enhance the quality of learning, teaching and
research.
 Through practical tools, helpdesks, workshops and
consultancy services, we provide assistance with planning,
managing and using technologies in the post-16 education

to offer
 A proactive and fully managed relationship for our customers, delivered
through an account management function
 Access for our customers to a local and responsive front line team of
experts able to assist according to their needs
 A customer contact centre, supported by a range of self-service digital

7. 18-21 Work Skills Pilot: Testing online and blended
delivery of English and Mathematics
 This pilot project is a joint initiative between the Department for Business
Innovation and Skills (BIS), the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the
Department for Education (DfE). The purpose is to determine whether an English
and maths intervention improves the employment and skills outcomes for 18 to 21
year olds. The project will also test new delivery models and funding approaches.
 The SFA seeks interest from learning providers wishing to partner with technology
companies to develop innovative and engaging solutions with a potential national
roll out.
 The detailed Intention To Tender document can be found at

your interest by completing an online form at http://bit.ly/WorkSkills2014-Form.
