College Partnership Launches Cloud Technology Careers
City of Glasgow College is proud to announce an exciting partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Primed Talent to deliver the AWS re/Start programme – a first for a Glasgow-based college. This collaborative initiative is set to play a key role in addressing Scotland’s digital skills gap, particularly within the rapidly growing field of cloud computing.
As the demand for cloud expertise continues to rise, programmes like AWS re/Start are essential in building a skilled workforce that can meet the evolving needs of employers across Scotland and beyond.
AWS re/Start is a full-time, classroom-based skills development programme designed to prepare individuals for careers in cloud computing. No prior technology experience is required, and the programme is free for learners. It is specifically aimed at unemployed or underemployed individuals seeking to reskill and access new opportunities in the tech sector.
In addition to providing technical training, AWS re/Start also focuses on professional skills and job-readiness, connecting learners with potential employers upon completion. The programme works closely with organisations that support underrepresented communities, including ethnic minorities, displaced individuals, and young people – ensuring access and opportunity for all.
Ashley Murphy, Associate Dean at City of Glasgow College, said:
“I am thrilled to introduce this cloud-based course as part of the City of Glasgow College’s technology offerings. It is essential for the future success of Scotland that our workforce is skilled in technologies that will drive our economy forward. I am very pleased that this partnership with AWS and Primed Talent is contributing to the creation of a talented pipeline for Scotland.”
This partnership represents a significant step forward in the College’s commitment to innovation, inclusion, and industry engagement. By delivering cutting-edge, accessible programmes like AWS re/Start, City of Glasgow College continues to empower learners and support Scotland’s ambition to be a leader in digital transformation.
