West College Scotland is launching the search for a new Chair to succeed Keith McKellar, who is standing down next February after completing six in years in the job. Keith took up the position shortly after the College was created in 2013 through the merger of Clydebank College, James Watt College’s Greenock campuses and Paisley’s Reid Kerr College. The Scottish Government has now started the process of finding a new Chair and applications will remain open until mid-December 2019.

The College is pleased to announce that the Mini Game Jam events, led by award winning lecturer Dr Amanda Ford, will be going ahead with Amanda providing support to schools through an online community set up using the Scottish schools intranet Glow.
