Scottish Conservative leader Meghan Gallacher spoke about her party’s proposals during a visit to Ayrshire College in Ayr.
The Scottish Conservatives hope to establish a national virtual college to help rural students learn the skills they need.
Ms Gallacher outlined the proposals during a General Election campaign visit to Ayrshire College’s Ayr campus to learn about the apprenticeships it offers students, including those which can help learners into a career in the aerospace industry. She said: “The Scottish Conservatives are committed to properly funding apprenticeships and ensuring that funding is directed towards the areas of greatest workforce need.“The Scottish Conservatives are also committed to establishing a virtual National College of Scotland – similar to the Open University but for further education – so that those living in rural and remote areas can still acquire the skills they, and employers, need.
