• Ontrack has been developed as a nationwide web-based beneficiary monitoring system, for the independent training sector, that will standardise monitoring practice and avoid double counting of users.

  Ontrack assists in the tracking of progress, measuring impact and evaluation and provides capacity building and quality assurance, facilitate partnership working and good financial management.

  CCC believe that Ontrack is worthy of an award on many counts. CCC developed a user-centred methodology, with 'Moodle' software through which students can access tailored learning materials, discussion groups and e-mentoring services from any computer with internet access. Ontrack features a media archive and an area to showcase new films by emerging film-makers.

  CCC's mission is to deliver the best creative media training for talented individuals who would not otherwise have access. Many of CCC's core services exist as comprehensive stepping-stones into employment or training progressions, with over 55% of trainees being female, and 80% of trainees coming from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds.

  Since its foundation in 1982, CCC has delivered structured film-making, broadcast, animation, music technology and web-building training with tailored one-to-one mentoring to thousands of under-represented people from across London. In the last three years alone, over 400 adults have improved access to work, further education or career development in the creative industries through CCC programmes.

  Through the design of a robust and accessible monitoring resource to innovative training programmes for hard-to-reach young people and under-represented adults, CCC continues to find new ways to achieve its goals and to improve the technology available to the voluntary sector.
