We will complete the redesign of Shetland’s tertiary education, research and training sector, which will help sustain the number of young people accessing learning.
This will also help businesses get access to the skilled local workforce they require, contributing to Shetland’s Partnership Plan aim of helping people to reach their full potential
The redesign element of this significant piece of work reached a major milestone when the merger of Shetland College UHI, NAFC Marine Centre UHI and Train Shetland was achieved on 1 August 2021, the Vesting Day of the new combined college, Shetland UHI. This had been a high priority for the council for a number of years and remains an important element of the Place priority in the Shetland Partnership Plan.
