National launch of the #LoveScotlandsColleges campaign
#LoveScotlandsColleges Campaign 2025

Colleges across Scotland are launching their annual #LoveScotlandsColleges campaign this week, in time for Valentine’s Day, and Forth Valley College are celebrating the vital role played by colleges right across the country.

The week-long campaign kicks off today, Monday 10 February, and will highlight the outstanding work of colleges throughout the country, showcasing all the important courses and training offered to Scotland’s workforce now, and the workforce of the future.

The campaign will promote a theme for every day:

  • We Love… Our People - (Students, Staff, Alumni) - Monday 10 February - Did you know Colleges employ over 14,000 staff across Scotland?
  • We Love… Learning - (Students, Potential Applicants, Influencers - teachers, parents, advisors) - Tuesday 11 February – Did you know Colleges deliver 68 million hours of learning annually to over 248,000 students?
  • We Love… Our Partners (Businesses, Industry Partners, Elected Members) - Wednesday 12 February – Did you know Colleges are the largest providers of Modern Apprenticeships, supporting over 14,000 students?
  • We Love… Giving Back (Community) - Thursday 13 February – Did you know 26% of school leavers transition into further education from school, with 36% of those from the most deprived areas?
  • Love is… All You Need! (Encompassing everything) - Friday 14 February (Valentine’s Day) – Did you know College graduates contribute £8 billion to the economy, or £73,000 per graduate?

What’s not to love about that?

Created by CDN’s (College Development Network) Marketing and Communications Network, this annual collaborative campaign is supported right across Scotland’s 24 colleges. The campaign will highlight national and local examples of how colleges are supporting students, employers and businesses, communities, staff and the economy.

Kenny MacInnes, Principal of Forth Valley College, said: “Once again we are delighted to support College Development Network’s (CDN) Love Scotland’s Colleges campaign. The Further Education sector is vital to the success of Scotland as a whole and it is great to see the success of our colleges being celebrated through this week long initiative. I would also encourage all our partners, stakeholders, staff and students to follow and share the social media coverage to help make the week even more of a success.”
