Scottish based learning and development specialist STC Global has signed an international partnership with 2 leading Scottish Colleges. Based from the Company’s Abu Dhabi operations base STC Global will develop and deliver learning solutions in tandem with both Adam Smith and Forth Valley Colleges. The partnership will offer turnkey training and learning solutions across the Gulf States, with products ranging from customised Management Academies to Internationally accredited HSEQ solutions. Mark Rushton, Development Director of STC Global is delighted to confirm that the partnership is active with immediate effect; Mark says, “I believe that by partnering with Adam Smith and Forth Valley the quality and scope of what the Abu Dhabi based business can offer will improve substantially. To offer turnkey training solutions to our international clients we needed to seek out the partner best placed to meet the needs of a very challenging yet rewarding region. Naturally the ‘fit’ between our respective businesses also needed to be right, and with Adam Smith and Forth Valley it is just that.”  For the Colleges the opportunity was there to support an extensive yet well protected market through the STC Partnership as Adam Smith Assistant Principal Ray McCowan explains; “STC has worked hard to achieve and deliver on a prestigious Petroleum Services Licence in Abu Dhabi over the past 18 months and I speak for both Colleges when I say that we wanted to be a part of that. As a partnership we are stronger in a number of key areas not just in terms of new products now on offer but in the creation of solutions that utilise the skills sets of all those involved.” Dr Wendy Livingstone, Associate Principal, Business and Innovation at Forth Valley College said, “Everyone involved has worked tirelessly to reach this key milestone in the life of the partnership. Both Colleges and STC Global are fully committed to delivering the highest standard of professional training within Abdu Dhabi and have an excellent track record of delivering client-centred focused solutions to the Oil and Gas sector in the Middle East.”
