This bulletin aims to identify good practice in the adoption of a strategic approach to developing short courses in work-related nonadvanced further education (WRNAFE) in Great Britain. The focus is on vocational updating and retraining aimed principally at those in employment, usually at full cost to employers/sponsors. The bulletin discusses information collected by a study of employers and colleges. Findings indicate that (1) employers identify short-course training needs in an ad hoc manner without reference to labor market information; (2) local education authority (LEA) and college program plans exhibit a lack of mission identification, objectives setting, and, in general, strategic planning; (3) a coherent and responsive service for employer retraining needs requires planned coordination on an intra- and inter-institutional basis; and (4) monitoring and evaluation procedures are essential in assessing performance. Issues raised by revenue and capital funding are discussed. The bulletin concludes with this suggestion: that planning for revenue-earning short-course activity should be embedded in future LEA and individual college corporate plans and programs. (YLB)
