Guardbridge Guarantee

The Guardbridge Guarantee is a concept that seeks to embed a culture of local investment across all companies involved in the Eden Campus project. Specifically, the Guarantee will deliver the following elements:

1. The expansion of the University's existing apprenticeship programme within our Estates Department Trades section. There will be a real opportunity to provide work placements for apprentices within the Eden Campus Energy Centre to learn directly on the job in a way similar to how staff are placed within the new buildings that the University has constructed.
2. Opportunities for local start-ups in areas of catering, cleaning, energy systems maintenance and engineering working closely with the University's energy partner. 
3. The creation of more highly skilled and better paid jobs, and to foster a self-sustaining and ambitious climate of entrepreneurial advance.
4. To encourage economic activity and investment across Scotland, thereby sharing the benefits of growth, and to secure a high quality environment today and a sustainable legacy for future generations, which will act to strengthen Scotland’s positioning as a great country to do business.
