Workforce and skills development

We support workforce development through specialised training programmes designed to enhance skills in innovative practices and technologies.

These programmes are delivered through a combination of on-site training, online courses, and workshops, helping employees at all levels to contribute effectively to their company’s objectives.

Practical support in adopting new technologies

We offer practical support for businesses adopting new technologies by providing access to the latest sustainable tools and equipment.

This includes hands-on demonstrations, training sessions, and ongoing technical support to ensure smooth integration of these technologies into existing business operations, driving innovation and improving overall efficiency.

“Our collaboration with New College Lanarkshire`s CLIC programme has been invaluable. From the initial consultation their team expertly identified key areas where we could enhance productivity and expand our digital capabilities. Their insights and guidance gave us the confidence to implement practical solutions that would benefit our staff and customers. This partnership has not only delivered immediate improvements, but also established a valuable ongoing relationship with the college that will continue to benefit Altogether Travel in the future.”

We recently completed training with West College Scotland to help our business expand into the renewable energy industry. The course was very well presented, and all the staff were first class in their approach.

I look forward to working with them again in the future.
