The lead partner of the Calderdale and Kirklees e2e Partnership is the Huddersfield Technical College Training Partnership Unit.
The e2e Partnership consists of a number of training provider partners who deliver a range of training programmes. The learning offers of the Partnership and our delivery providers are listed in this Directory section of the website.
Our Directory of Provision has been significantly updated and refreshed this year to reflect our new e2e programme.
Working with West Yorkshire Learning and Skills Council we have introduced a new three-tier e2e programme that will operate from 1st August 2007 across all e2e providers in Calderdale and Kirklees.
We re-engineered the programme in the light of the completion of the Rise to the Challenge programme and the need to prepare for the introduction of the Foundation Learning Tier (with its emphasis on the need for individually responsive training programmes, the importance of clear progression pathways and the value of learner credit accumulation). Above all we needed to ensure that the e2e programme was more attractive to a wider group of disengaged young people and that it was more responsive to their individual needs.
Referral Process
A new learner entering tier 1, always with the expectation of progression to tier 2, will have a formal referral.
A tier 1 learner joining a tier 2 programme will not need re-referral. Our dedicated PAs will be responsible for checking the appropriateness of that progression not later than the end of the formal initial assessment period with the tier 2 provider.
New starters entering tier 2 or 3 for the first time will need a formal referral in the usual way.
Existing learners on a tier 2 programme will not need re-referral to tier 3. Again our dedicated PAs will be responsible in the usual way for checking the appropriateness of that progression.
Existing learners on a tier 2 programme WILL need re-referral if they are referred back to a tier 1 provider. Existing learners on a tier 3 programme WILL need re-referral back to a tier 1 or 2 provider.
Learner Entitlement
It will be apparent that under this re-engineered programme cumulative learner length of stay will increase.
Since learners are e2e learners whether they are on a tier 1,2 or 3 programme the usual requirement for a 22 week review with the learner will be calculated on the basis of their cumulative programme i.e. if the learner has been with a number of providers successively the 22 week review date will be calculated from their initial start date.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ALL LEARNERS, WHETHER TIER 1,2 OR 3 ARE e2e LEARNERS AND THAT THEY ARE ALL ENTITLED TO APPLY FOR AN EMA.

Tier 3 - The Transition
As a Partnership we are anxious to develop provision that will seek to maximise learner potential and positive progression. By providing intensive mentoring, orientation and support we intend to help a number of learners to make a positive transition to full apprenticeship, further education etc. We will achieve this by offering short programmes (of say 8 weeks duration) to a mixed client group or through hub e2e providers with the capability to offer in-house progression to full apprenticeship. Hours of attendance will be 30 hours per week.
To clarify, a tier 3 programme might be specific to an occupational route or be more general. The more general Tier 3 offer is branded ‘Prospects’.
The possibility of progressing from a tier 3 programme giving general motivation and orientation to a tier 3 programme offering specific preparation for an apprenticeship in say, childcare or business administration, is quite legitimate and is indeed to be encouraged.
A specialist in-house pre-apprenticeship offer will involve the delivery of key skills, units of an NVQ or access to technical certificates and will invariably involve sustained work placement. These programmes are currently offered by providers with apprenticeship places to some of their e2e learners. Under this three tier system we expect the offer to be available for all suitable learners including those referred from other providers.
It is unlikely that a new e2e starter will access tier 3 initially though there may be exceptional cases where this is justified.
Existing learners will have access to all these new learning opportunities.
