Learning has the potential to impact communities
Meet our Director of Learning and Development Victoria Finn
I am passionate about building capability, developing talent and enabling people to achieve their potential.
academy.scot was created to bridge the gap between learning and real-world practice. Drawing on frontline insight gained through Advice Direct Scotland, we develop practical, relevant learning that reflects the challenges organisations face today, helping them build skills, strengthen governance and create greater impact.
Connect and collaborate through partnerships
One Parent Families Scotland has been delighted to engage with academy.scot’s training programmes. The impact has been significant, strengthening staff confidence and capability to identify financial hardship early and respond effectively.
Staff are better equipped to navigate complex debt issues, provide timely support and make informed referrals, enhancing our ability to deliver holistic, person-centred support and achieve better outcomes for single parent families.
