We recognise the importance of supportingCom-Pàirteachas Colaiste agus Sgoil
our young people into positive destinations.

We believe that it is vital that young people are given the
opportunity to build their skills, abilities and play an active
part as independent contributors to their community and
to the Scottish economy in the future. Scotland’s skilled
workforce requires a mix of vocational and academic
education and the value of vocational skills and practical
expertise that colleges can offer is often the starting point
for many successful career paths.
Our partnership with our 9 West Highland High Schools
enables our young people to gain skills, confidence,
qualifications and access to vocational pathways that can
complement their academic studies, exposing them to
more post-school choices thus opening up more options
for rewarding further education or employment.
Over 20,000 school students are involved in school
college partnerships across Scotland.
