A Forth Valley College graduate has used his skills to help enterprising students

Craig Reid (25) created the exciting new look for Bridge 2 Business (B2B), as the pioneering enterprise learning programme for tertiary education seeks to expand.

Having attended Bridge 2 Business Erasmus in Holland last year, Craig has now designed the branding and logo which will spearhead the programme’s ambitious plans to reach all further education colleges in Scotland.

B2B, available through colleges to students wanting to start up their own businesses or take enterprise skills into the workplace, launched its range of resources online at the Launch-it Fest event earlier this week.

The move allows all students and young people to access the programme virtually as part of a new blended learning approach.

Craig said: “Bridge 2 Business changed my perspective on a lot of things and changed my life. It is possible to create opportunities for yourself and Bridge 2 Business is all about that. It helps to open doors and make connections.”

Craig’s journey began at Forth Valley College where he studied Visual Communications before an opportunity to participate in a three-week Bridge 2 Business Erasmus Programme was offered to the students.

He successfully applied for the programme and from there undertook a digital media degree at Stirling University.

In July, Craig was contacted by Bridge 2 Business about the potential rebrand and that led to Craig being offered a job at Young Enterprise Scotland as a Digital Assistant.
