SLC is a bright, modern and forward thinking college where we put our students and partners at the heart of everything we do. At our state-of-the-art campus in East Kilbride we offer excellent programmes in outstanding facilities, delivered by well qualified, highly trained staff. We collaborate with employers and local businesses to make sure that we provide relevant, up-to-date courses that are really of benefit to our students when they go out into the world of work. Originally known as The School of Building, Cambuslang, the College first opened its doors in August 1948 in Glasgow Road, Janebank, Cambuslang. Its main function was to provide training in construction craft skills for school leavers and young apprentices employed in the construction industry. At first, a one year full time course was offered to school leavers on a pre-apprenticeship training scheme – consisting of an introduction to all the construction crafts, with final craft selection on the completion of the course. Day release was also available for craft apprentices who were in employment and following the appropriate City & Guilds of London Institute craft certificate course.
