We are proud to work with…
We were the lead consultants for monitoring and evaluating (M&E) on this large-scale British Council/Ministry of Education project. We worked with digital tools to measure change and impact on the 9,000 teachers involved in the project. We used participatory video, digital diaries, focus groups and teacher observation using Ipads. The consultancy involved creating M&E tools, frameworks, planning, local team training and workshops as well as analysis and collation of results.
We were thrilled to be working on this great project to understand the key language and soft skills requirements needed at entry-level jobs in the construction, healthcare and hospitality sectors. We conducted a range of interviews and discussions with employers, training providers, employees and sector skills councils. This work will inform the redesign of frameworks to help standardise qualifications and create clear benchmarks. Preliminary results were presented at the Global Education Dialogue in Sri Lanka in May 2015 and the research was officially launched in Delhi, India in June 2015.
Between 2012 and 2015 we worked on a range of CPD projects in India. This work included review and evaluation of British Council materials and recommendations for development of a core portfolio of courses and materials. The work included primary and secondary research (desk, interviews, focus groups plus design of suitable tools, frameworks and questionnaires) and site visits to Master Trainer programmes. The project had a CPD focus which included designing and developing an India-specific framework and strategy, facilitation of workshops and meetings with British Council staff and support with creating internal and external communication documents.
In 2014 we visited Bangladesh three times conducting a research project to understand the links between English language, soft skills and employability skills. The work brought us into contact with some NGOs doing amazing work with young people, all kinds of initiatives and the result was a report to help key stakeholders start to consolidate projects and work more closely together.
