Reducing barriers to further education and employment
about us
Access to Industry exists to move excluded people into education and onto employment across the South East of Scotland.
We do this through the creation and development of new education and training programmes, encouraging access to further and higher education opportunities. These programmes are delivered through partnerships with key education and training providers throughout Scotland. We also work closely with employers to provide supported work experience placements. Find out more about our partners here.
A key component of our work is helping people to develop essential core skills such as communications, information technology and problem solving. We also provide a wide range of specific education and training courses that meet a broad cross section of needs and aspirations.
All of these courses are designed to provide a stepping stone on to further education or employment. Find out more about our courses, or take a look at our case studies to see how Access to Industry works.
Our Passport and Transition programmes are tailored to the needs of those who are moving on from particularly challenging backgrounds, including care, prison, substance misuse, homelessness or street sex work. In these programmes, we offer group work activity complemented by a one-to one approach. This personalised approach ensures much higher success rates for those involved.
