Our Links with Education
Working closely with Fife Council’s Education Service has brought about many meaningful partnerships. This helps create an understanding of the construction industry and associated disciplines in local schools as well as allowing our business to better understand the needs of the education system. Lomond Homes has a long history of working closely with local schools, offering work experiences, training and apprenticeships, and generally trying to encourage and inspire the potential future members of the Fife construction industry.
All this forms part of our commitment to corporate social responsibility and goes beyond what is commonly known as our planning obligations. We recognise that education is the key to the development of children and ultimately the future success of Scotland as the Government drives its objective of sustainable economic growth.
Demonstrating our commitment to the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence the Lomond Group has supported various initiatives in the pursuit of career and educational development:
• Presentations at nursery, primary and high schools
• University lecturing
• Judging, advising and delivering presentations as part of education competitions
• School placements
• Apprenticeships
Our work has earned us an award following the development of a local partnership agreement under the ‘Determined to Succeed’ initiative. The project involved the construction of a ‘wish wall’ designed by school children and built by Lomond.
Lomond Group is proud of its commitment to the education of young people in Fife and Scotland, and this is recognised by the Education Authority in Fife, who said:
“Lomond Homes offers a variety of opportunities to explore learning in a real and relevant context. The powerful impact of this type of partnership raises awareness and aspirations as well as inspiring teachers and pupils alike.”
Lomond Group has cemented this committment by forming a partnership with Caskieberran Primary School, Glenrothes. To read more click here.
