The College Sector of the Future project is examining how Scotland’s colleges can better serve students, employers, and communities, ensuring they are equipped for the future.
Direct feedback from students is crucial for this initiative. The project aims to understand what changes are needed, what aspects of the college experience are most valuable, and what improvements students would like to see for future generations.
The Scottish Funding Council is organising student workshops where participants can share their views on what is working well, what needs improvement, and their vision for colleges in the coming years. No prior policy knowledge or preparation is required; attendees are encouraged to bring their experiences, ideas, and honest opinions.
Should college prepare you for the jobs of tomorrow, help you change career, build your confidence, or give you the support you need to succeed; perhaps it is all the above?
To register for the workshops, individuals can visit the provided link for the College Sector of the Future Student Workshops. Lunch will be provided for those attending in person.
Students who wish to attend but are concerned about travel costs can contact studentinterests@sfc.ac.uk to discuss available support.
The initiative emphasises that students' voices should be part of decisions shaping the future of colleges, especially if these decisions will affect them.
