10 Creating a Pipeline
to Employment
Engaging and inspiring our students with the skills they require
for the world of work is central to all that we do. We engage
with employers who help ensure industry-relevant, futureproofed
learning for our students.
Students gain valuable experience through work placements,
as well as from partnership projects with organisations such as
the BBC and Bridge2Business.
We support apprenticeship schemes for top engineering and
shipping companies including BAE Systems and Caledonian
MacBrayne.
Our students are encouraged to take part in competitions to
challenge and improve their skills. We are regularly in the top
two in the UK for WorldSkills and have won the F&C Investment
Trust Prize three years in a row.
