The Regional Skills Investment Plan for the south of Scotland has been published by Skills Development Scotland (SDS). The Plan aims to provide a greater choice of career pathways for the region’s young people, while offering more opportunities for upskilling and reskilling to the current workforce.

They include:
- improving access to education, skills and training
