College plays vital role in connecting rural communities

Fiona Grant, our Director of Academic Affairs, spoke to STV News last week as part of a report on young people's concerns about connectivity across the region.

“People definitely want to stay here – work here, learn here,” she told reporter Nicola McAlley while talking about connectivity and learning. 

The report focuses on ‘The Island Initiative’ - a group created by young adults on Skye to highlight their concerns around what they see as key election issues such as housing, employment, culture and connectivity.
