DUMFRIES and Galloway College are on a mission to reach new heights of excellence and innovation.
They have launched a strategic vision, title Mission 2030, to shape the college and to continue to meet the evolving needs of the community, the region and the country.
It will build on their Ambition 2025 project, which developed key sector-leading results in student experience and growth.
The new strategy focuses on four key pillars: Our Students, Our People, Our Learning, Our Partners.
Each represents a vital component of the mission to cultivate a thriving, inclusive and sustainable college.
For students, the overarching focus is on preparing them for the future through a comprehensive approach driven by the skills agenda for Scotland.
In people generally, they are fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development, embracing digital skills for productivity and agility and promoting data literacy for informed decision-making.
Learning sees the college setting a roadmap to foster innovation, enhance student success and ensure relevance by harnessing emerging trends and best practices.
And partnerships and collaboration will be the key drivers.
Caroline Stuart, chair of the board of management, above, said: “I am proud to introduce Mission 2030 as the college continues to strive to reach new levels in both innovation and education.
“DGC hopes to empower individuals to reach their full potential and facilitate lifelong learning – and I am sure Mission 2030 will equip our students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive.”
College principal Joanna Campbell added: “Mission 2030 recognises the importance of the contribution we play in allowing the strengths and opportunities within our region to flourish.
“Together, with partners, our mission is to build opportunity and growth for our region, community and beyond.”
