IMI SPFP03 - Project Evaluation

Descriptions

Since January 2013 the Institute of the Motor Industry has been operating a Sector Priorities Fund Pilot. The Sector Priorities Fund was introduced by the former Welsh Government as a means for Sector Skills Councils to provide funding subsidy to providers offering programmes of study to business which are of economic and environmental benefit. This is the second pilot project which the IMI have run.The IMI procured two Welsh Colleges and one Private Training Provider to deliver courses in Motor Vehicle Diagnostic Systems into SME businesses throughout but restricted to Wales. The project was targeted to assist 80 businesses and a total of 100 participants. It has been more successful than originally planned and has exceeded all delivery targets.The project is due to finish on the 31st December 2014. Slightly ahead of this time and immediately following it, the project must be evaluated by a third party who is independent of the delivery and its management. A report must be produced which evaluates and analyses the success and impact of the project.
