02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
West Lothian College provides a wide range of further and higher education courses to meet the needs of West Lothian’s people, communities and businesses. These support government priorities on growing the economy, tackling poverty and tackling the climate emergency. The college has a symbiotic relationship with West Lothian Council and increasingly with third and private sector organisations across the region. We play a critical role in achieving community planning partnership priorities to address the skills needs of employees and enable people to be better educated and more able to access to quality jobs. Beyond that, the college is recognised locally and nationally as a leader in trauma informed practice.
