Scotland’s eight Innovation Centres (ICs) are committed to helping our economy and people to flourish and prosper. One way we do this is skills development.

In our diverse sectors, we work with industry, universities, colleges and skills bodies to fill skills gaps, develop industry-ready talent and help businesses achieve their growth ambitions. Results include:

  • custom-built HN, MSc, PhD and EngD programmes
  • MSc scholarships, attracting the best and brightest to industry-relevant courses
  • industry placements and projects
  • internships
  • training for those already in our sectors – from data science bootcamps to aquaculture management training.

And much else besides – all with the aim of helping businesses to innovate and grow, and boosting Scotland’s success in key sectors.
