Update by Argyll College UHI

The Group considered a written update from Argyll College UHI which provided a brief summary of their activities. The update also included information on student success, as well as information around applying for courses and accessing support.

Dr Faye Tudor advised that work was still taking place remotely, with ongoing consultation around government guidelines and health and safety information. Dr Tudor provided details of support with remote learning which had been made available to students during the previous academic year, noting that she hoped that this could be put in place for the upcoming academic year if necessary. Dr Tudor explained the reasons that remote learning was necessary for Argyll College UHI and noted that this would be continually re-assessed in line with changing Government guidance.

Discussion took place around the benefits of more courses focused on sustainability and for training around the maintenance of heat pumps, where skills were in high demand. Dr Tudor provided information around the relevant courses currently offered and agreed to give the matter further consideration.   

Decision

The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Community Planning Group considered and noted the information provided.
