About the Upskilling Project
About the Project
The University of Glasgow’s Upskilling Project facilitates three runs of skills-focussed, demand-led CPD courses annually, with the aim of supporting employees and employers across Scotland to upskill and reskill in response to present-day socioeconomic challenges.
In particular, the Project aims to address skills gaps, unemployment issues, and other health and economic adversities following the COVID-19 pandemic and EU exit.
The Project offers fully-funded places to learners through the SFC University Upskilling Fund, allowing them to undertake our Upskilling courses free of charge.
Over 8 thousand learners have benefited from the Project since its launch in 2020, with many proceeding onto further study and employment as a result of their improved skillsets and newly acquired academic credits.
