IC your route to a job.
We will shortly be sending all schools an invite to this special event where you can meet the lecturers, try a few workshops AND meet 50+ employers in the local area to find out what skills they need from employees. Map out your future with Inverness College UHI.
We work closely with a wide range of secondary schools and education centres in the Highland area, and we are gradually expanding this to joint education partnerships with local primary schools. The main aim is to raise awareness of the range of courses, progressive pathways and vocational opportunities which are available to our young learners. In addition, we aim to work more closely with Highland Council schools and local communities to ensure that we are developing a progressive curriculum which offers ideas, innovation and learning from best practice.

Our Vocational Pathway Programme provides opportunities to learners in S3-S6 to engage in a practical learning environment. This programme has been developed specifically to meet the needs and interests of young learners who are seeking alternative learning opportunities.
Throughout the academic year, we provide opportunities for school learners to experience student life in their chosen subject area, to allow them to make informed decisions about their tertiary education. In addition, we host a number of events in conjunction with Aspire North, which provide a catalyst for parents and learners to experience the learning opportunities, choices and progression routes to enable learners to realise their full potential.
Our student ambassador initiative enables us to provide valuable information to learners about courses, progression and student life at the college. We have approximately 15 ambassadors from a wide range of courses who voluntarily assist on school visits and local events.
The unique partnership between Inverness College UHI, Highland Council and local employers provides a fantastic opportunity for youngsters to engage in a curriculum for excellence where they can grasp more opportunities and more chances in a diverse range of progression routes.
