Moira Douglas: Education Liason Manager

"It is important to recognise that education should equip every school pupil to realise their full potential. Motherwell College has forged fantastic links with schools and local education departments over the years, and has a dedicated education liaison manager in place to enhance the service offered. We offer a wide range of courses at various levels to school students, from Skills for Work to Highers. We also offer advice and support for school pupils who intend to complete a HND and then access third year at University. We'd be happy to speak to students, teachers or parents who have questions on any aspect of College life. College staff regularly attend options nights and careers events at local schools."

Helping School Leaving

Every year we help school leavers from North and South Lanarkshire progress to further and higher education.

Schools Liason Service

Motherwell College has a dedicated schools liaison service. Through our partnerships with North and South Lanarkshire Councils' Education Departments, we offer a variety of courses to enhance the curriculum for secondary school students. Applications should be made through your school and courses are subject to demand and availability.

Skills for Work

Skills for Work courses give 14 -16 year old school students the opportunity to study practical subjects linked to future careers, gaining a vocational qualification to complement school studies. The College offers Skills for Work courses in construction, financial services, hairdressing and care. These courses also develop the knowledge and skills that will be important in employment and life. Other skills for work courses are now available in a variety of subject areas.

Vocational Courses

A variety of additional vocational options are available to school students either within school or through parttime study at college. These include beauty therapy and hairdressing, automotive engineering, computing, administration, hospitality, manufacturing, construction sport, and occupational health and safety.

Highers

Motherwell College currently offers SQA Highers within some schools. These include Highers in psychology, sociology, drama and care. Other options may be available and we are happy to consider requests.
