Cathkin Support Base at Kear Campus

Rutherglen Exchange is proud to be working in partnership with the Cathkin Support Base to help local young people build confidence, gain real‑world experience and take their first steps towards college pathways and future employment. Through this collaboration, pupils are welcomed into the centre environment to explore what work looks and feels like day‑to‑day — from understanding customer service and teamwork to developing practical workplace routines. Each placement is shaped around the young person’s strengths, interests and readiness, ensuring the experience is positive, supported and genuinely useful for their next stage. This is community partnership at its best: Local young people gaining meaningful opportunities Schools and support teams working closely with employers A town‑centre destination opening its doors to help build skills, confidence and ambition At Rutherglen Exchange, we believe every young person deserves the chance to shine — and we’re delighted to play a small part in helping them get there.
