How can we help you?

We provide advisory services, workforce and skills development, and practical support in adopting new technologies.

Our goal is to engage with over 200 businesses across Glasgow, Inverclyde, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, and West Dunbartonshire through our six dedicated centres.

Advisory services

We provide expert advisory services to businesses, offering tailored guidance on innovative development strategies.

By assessing individual business needs, CLIC’s advisors help companies implement best practices that align with their sustainability goals, ensuring long-term success and compliance with industry standards.

Workforce and skills development

We support workforce development through specialised training programmes designed to enhance skills in innovative practices and technologies.

These programmes are delivered through a combination of on-site training, online courses, and workshops, helping employees at all levels to contribute effectively to their company’s objectives.

Practical support in adopting new technologies

We offer practical support for businesses adopting new technologies by providing access to the latest sustainable tools and equipment.

This includes hands-on demonstrations, training sessions, and ongoing technical support to ensure smooth integration of these technologies into existing business operations, driving innovation and improving overall efficiency.

West College Scotland should be extremely proud of the way they build relationships with external partners. Their commitment to helping us navigate through the complexity of workforce development has been exemplary.

Without this guidance at times, we would be lost.
