Overview

Originally known as The School of Building, Cambuslang, the College first opened its doors in August 1948 in Glasgow Road, Janebank, Cambuslang.

Its main function was to provide training in construction craft skills for school leavers and young apprentices employed in the construction industry.  At first, a one year full time course was offered to school leavers on a pre-apprenticeship training scheme - consisting of an introduction to all the construction crafts, with final craft selection on the completion of the course.  Day release was also available for craft apprentices who were in employment and following the appropriate City & Guilds of London Institute craft certificate courses.
