College Local Innovation Centres
The College Local Innovation Centres or “CLIC” will establish specialised Innovation Centres aligned with regional economic priorities, dedicated to driving digital innovation and productivity across the region.
The 12-month pilot project, funded by the Innovate UK Further Education Innovation Fund, will help businesses across the Glasgow City Region gain access to comprehensive support and guidance on embedding and embracing digital technologies within their organisations.
Support will range from advisory services to workforce and skills development, as well as hands-on assistance in adopting new technologies, processes, and business models.
Our aim is to engage with more than 200 businesses across Glasgow, Inverclyde, North and South Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire, and West Dunbartonshire through our six Innovation Centres:
- Centre for Sustainable Development – South Lanarkshire College
- Centre for Digitally Enabled Health – New College Lanarkshire
- Centre for Advanced Manufacturing – West College Scotland
- Centre for Innovation Leadership – City of Glasgow College
- Centre for Digital Enablement – Glasgow Kelvin College
- Centre for Digital Creativity – Glasgow Clyde College
Hosted at South Lanarkshire College, the CLIC Centre for Sustainable Development will unlock various benefits and opportunities. These are aimed at giving companies of all sizes access to skills that drive sustainable behaviours and technologies, through a combination of college, work-based and online learning, expert support, networking events and collaborative opportunities with other businesses, third sector organisations and public bodies.
