Upskilling scholarships
Fully-funded CPD opportunities
Since Covid-19, organisations have had to rapidly adapt their workforce to respond to a need for emergent and diverse skills. Equally, many employees are aware of the need to reskill or upskill to be able to move up a career path or even to stay in viable employment.
Thanks to funding from the Scottish Funding Council (SFC), Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) is able to offer a range of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) in exciting, niche and critical skills areas for professionals looking to upskill at speed whilst gaining portable academic credit.
You must be living or working in Scotland to apply for this course.
All of the CPD courses are fully-funded, delivered online and carry academic credit from SCQF 7 to 11 (Honours or Masters Level).
