Hugh Logan, Principal and Chief Executive of Motherwell College said:
“We welcome this additional funding. In Lanarkshire student demand significantly exceeds current provision and this funding will extend the range of activity that the college can offer to its community.
“We are continuously working with local employers to develop the skills of our learners. The funding will assist us in supporting additional student places and give more young people the opportunity to meet their aspirations and employers’ needs.”
