EXTENDING REACH
Supporting Scotland’s skills needs in response to the economic impact of COVID-19 Upskilling individuals and workforces is a key tool to deliver the university’s strategic aim of extending the reach and relevance of education – and to drive employability. It provides support for people to thrive throughout their careers
A great example of this is our portfolio of free short courses, launched to support the skills needs of individuals and workforces across Scotland as they deal with the economic challenges of COVID-19. The university offered 400 fully-funded places across a range of online short courses, focused on strengthening businesses and providing individuals with skills development opportunities in response to the current climate. RGU is initially offered three courses in Strategic Leadership, Resilience and Change Management and Strategic Digital Marketing, with plans to expand the portfolio. The courses are relevant for any sector.
