This year Colleges Scotland has been delighted to showcase a voice from each of our members in our blog series, 24 in 2024. 

You can read all 24 blogs in a booklet. 

The series was created to mark the diversity and variety of work that Scotland’s 24 colleges do and to hear from sector leaders and experts on the key questions facing the future of the college sector. Colleges have an unwavering commitment to education and skills development, aligned to employment, and contributing to a sustainable prosperous future, and transforming lives and communities. 

The blog series has highlighted a broad range of topics and provided insights into college life and work – whether it’s the sector’s expanding role in energy transition through the Energy Transition Skills Hub, offering degrees in e-sports, working with businesses to deliver customised training solutions that enhances career pathways and strengthens industry capabilities, helping students in poverty or at risk of homelessness, providing employability support for individuals, or creating a Youth and Community Hub to provide health and lifestyle activities to children, young people, and adults. 

It is clear that colleges serve a diverse population and are more than simply educational institutions - they are drivers of opportunity, aspiration, innovation and economic growth – for individuals, communities and industry. When colleges thrive, Scotland thrives.
