North East Scotland College (NESCol) has launched a recruitment drive to fill vacancies on its Regional Board.
The Regional Board is responsible for overseeing the business of the College, determining its strategic direction and fostering a safe environment for learners.
Board Members come from all walks of life and from across the region, lending their experience, skills and knowledge to help support NESCol’s evolution.
Neil Cowie, NESCol’s Principal and Chief Executive, said: “The College is integral to realising the economic ambitions of our region, anchored in the City and Aberdeenshire with a commitment to shaping the workforce of the future.
“We’re proud of our long history in serving our traditional industries and excited by the opportunities presented by new and emerging sectors. An engaging, supportive and inclusive learning environment is at the heart of a College experience designed to give every student the opportunity to fulfil their potential in employment and in life.
“Regional Board members have a vital part to play in enhancing the experience and outcomes of our students as well as driving significant social and economic contributions to the communities and employers the College serves throughout the North-east.”
NESCol is seeking to appoint Regional Board members for an initial term of office of up to four years. The posts are voluntary and non-remunerated, however relevant expenses will be reimbursed.
