Shrewsbury College has begun delivering modules under the Modular Acceleration Programme (MAP), a pilot of the Lifelong Learning Entitlement, to better match local employers’ skill needs. The college identified that modular study was not widely recognised by learners and employers and worked to raise awareness through existing sector skills advisory panels. By collaborating with local businesses, the college tailored modules in construction, alternative energy, production engineering, and digital marketing to address specific skills gaps. The initiative allowed employers to influence module selection and design, ensuring that training schedules met diverse learner availability. Students who joined MAP courses found the modules directly relevant to local job markets, and the college plans to explore a blended face‑to‑face and online delivery model in the future.
