It was a pleasure to welcome Marie McNair MSP to our Clydebank Campus today, where she met with our Skills Development Scotland (SDS) team alongside Jim McAllister, Assistant Principal for Enterprise and STEM Economy, and Grant Taylor, Head of Student Experience.

The visit provided an opportunity to discuss the support SDS offers across West Dunbartonshire, including careers advice, employability support and engagement with individuals and communities who can often be harder to reach. The conversation also highlighted the positive impact of the long-standing partnership between SDS and West College Scotland in helping people access education, training and employment opportunities.
