QWEST
QWEST is a European Social Fund project, led by The University of Wales. Working in Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly and Torfaen, the project aims to help people toward employment, training and further learning. QWEST (Quality Work Employability Skills and Training) will work with individuals to add value to the other approved strategic bids. Using innovative approaches QWEST will engage participants who may have debilitating health conditions, on a journey toward employment.
NEO is supporting the administration of the project with the aid of an experienced team from The Innovation Centre in Ebbw Vale. NEO have worked in conjunction with QWEST to develop an MIS system to track all outcomes for the WEFO project. This enables the project to report on all data required, including cross cutting themes, soft outcomes and destination data.
The IDP (Individual Development Plan) is a tool which allows Development Officers to record and monitor all activities with the participants - including initial needs analysis which can be continuously amended. Participants are also able to access the system to view their IDP and progress.
Development Officers and Managers are easily able to track achievements and report on monthly activities. These access rights can be set, allowing only certain staff to access certain information or data. NEO QWEST is able to inform participants of future training events and as the system is web based, is accessible anywhere, at any point.
