A MAJOR telecoms firm has launched its partnership with the City of Glasgow College by offering three students high quality work placements.
Exchange Communications – which has offices in Glasgow, Aberdeen and London – sponsors the college’s Computer Networking programme at SCQF level 7 and 8, providing unique industry insights for students through on-site work experience, guest speaker slots, and the donation of equipment.
Mike McGregor, Aidan Cheung, and Xander Parle are the first students selected to receive hands-on industry experience, starting today.
Exchange Communications’ managing director Tom Sime said: “Students can tap into our decades of telecommunications experience across the world. With this exciting new relationship we are uniting industry and education. It’s a win-win for all involved.”
Exchange Communications offers telecoms equipment and expertise to over 100 countries on every continent.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
