Guidance Statement

Glasgow Colleges Regional Board (GCRB) is committed to offering free and impartial advice and guidance to enable you to have the best student and learning experience possible.  The role of Glasgow Colleges is to help you achieve this.

City of Glasgow, Glasgow Clyde and Glasgow Kelvin Colleges each provide impartial, ethical, learner centred advice and careers guidance services for college students and prospective learners to enable them to make informed decisions.  Each College can be contacted for advice and guidance and all enquiries are dealt with confidentially. Services are provided by professional and dedicated staff and individual guidance interviews can be arranged where required.  

Advice Before You Apply

Remember - before you apply, help is freely available from one of our Careers Advisors here at the College, or you can also get some great advice from our partners at Skills Development Scotland (SDS). You can find your local SDS centre here or access their web service My World of Work for lots of useful information and resources. 

Employability

Studying with us is about more than achieving a qualification, it’s also about getting a job you’ll enjoy and be good at. Throughout your time here, we'll help you to build your employability skills — that's the skills and personal attributes that make you more likely to get a job, do a good job or get a better job.

All our courses are designed to improve and enhance your employability skills in your chosen career field.
