The Centre for Community Engagement works with communities across East Lothian, Midlothian and Edinburgh.

A specialist schools team works with schools to develop vocation skills with pupils at all levels.  Some courses are offered in college as part of the timetable.  We also collaborate with schools from primary level upwards on a range of project work.

Our community programme offers opportunities across the region.  As a “college without walls” students can access the curriculum from the community, either through distance learning, or through courses delivered in various community venues.  We have a programme of courses and workshops at Hibernian Learning Centre at Easter Road and also at the Pennypit Centre in Prestonpans.

For students from special provision or from mainstream schooling with additional support needs,we offer a range of Bridging Courses, to develop skills and build confidence.  Some courses include a work placement and most involve participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.
