Why a Data Dashboard for governors?  The lack of consistent, sector- wide measures of learners’ destinations, including into sustainable employment, has hindered college governors’ ability to evaluate the wider impact of their college’s work in the local area.  A key challenge, therefore, remains for college governors to hold their college to account for the quality of provision and for its true impact.  Governors need to know what happens to their learners after they leave.  The Ofsted Data Dashboard for FE and skills aims to ensure that governors have accessible data to hold leaders and managers to account.

Why a Data Dashboard for governors? National Director for Further Education and Skills, Lorna Fitzjohn, commenting on the Data Dashboard, said : “We highlighted in the last Annual Report the importance of encouraging a dialogue between the FE sector and employers, particularly the need for greater awareness of the priorities of Local Enterprise Partnerships. This information held in this Dashboard will give governors a clear picture of how well providers are equipping learners with the skills they need to make the transition from education to work.” FE and Skills Data Dashboard 4

What we are not trying to do:  provide an in-year view of what is happening in providers  provide data about, for example, a provider’s workforce or finances  suggest that the only things governors need to do their job effectively are some high level measures of past performance. Advisory Group on Gernance| FE and Skills Data Dashboard 5

The FE and skills Data Dashboard broad questions  What are the success rates for: - individual subject areas? - different levels?  What is happening: - with study programmes? - with apprenticeships? - with employability programmes?  How well do learners progress: - to further training? - to higher education? - to employment and within employment?
