West Lothian College is proud to be part of the Gen -Z project

West Lothian College is delighted to be the managing partner in a new 2 year European project - Gen Z - Developing Competencies and Opportunities for Social Media Entrepreneurship.  Other partners are based in England, Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal and Poland.

 There is a new generation that demands our focus and attention.   Generation Z, born after 1995 is starting to grow up and enter the workforce, they are not only technically savy but also expect technology to be a natural and frequent part of learning, work and everyday life.  Generation Z are therefore more poised to become the most entrepreneurial generation ever.  This entrepreneurial energy has the potential to provide huge economic benefit for businesses that are willing to embrace it.  Our young people literally represent our economic future and we must provide them with the appropriate platforms and support.

 The project partners will collaborate to identify current best practice, develop curriculum to support Social Media Entrepreneurship for vocational learners, develop a "train the trainer" resource and develop a digital learning hub for both learning and teaching.
