Supporting Our Armed Forces Community

At Forth Valley College, we are proud to demonstrate our commitment to the Armed Forces community—both as a key employer in the Forth Valley area and as a champion of equal opportunities for all.

We believe that those who serve or have served in the Regular or Reserve Armed Forces, along with their families, should face no disadvantage in accessing public and commercial services. As part of our dedication, we actively uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, ensuring fair treatment, support, and opportunities for service personnel, veterans, and their loved ones.

By integrating these values into our practices, we strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment, recognising the dedication and sacrifices of our Armed Forces community.
