Who’s where in Scottish learning & skills? 2023
The 11th Informed Scotland Organisations & People Special has just been published to coincide with the start of the 2023–24 academic session.
This annual snapshot of a busy, ever-changing landscape helps our subscribers quickly locate the key organisations and make sense of where they fit into the bigger picture. They find it a useful directory of the main bodies and institutions operating across business, education, community & adult learning, government and wider society. Listings include:
- Sector-specific skills bodies
- Local authority education departments and regional improvement collaboratives
- Colleges and universities
- Teacher education institutions
- Developing the Young Workforce regional groups
- Knowledge exchange, research pools & innovation centres
- National resources, libraries and science centres
There are links to over 420 organisations, over twice as many as in the first edition in 2013.
Notes throughout highlight the changes over the past year, including new organisations, mergers and rebrands, plus numerous senior appointments, promotions and retirements.
- New organisations include the Stirling Centre for Research into Curriculum Making, due to officially launch on 19 September, and Scottish Teachers Advancing Computing Science (STACS), which launched in 2022.
- The creation of UHI North, West & Hebrides is the most notable merger, formed this month from three colleges: UHI North Highland, UHI Outer Hebrides & UHI West Highland. The new college launches officially on 12 September.
- The main closure was CodeClan digital skills academy which sadly went into liquidation earlier this month.
