Internship scheme to aid students
UP to 300 students are set to benefit from a new £2 million internship scheme announced this week.
The Third Sector Internship Programme is part of a Scottish Funding Council initiative to support students to find paid work experience during their studies.
The national programme, open to students from all Scottish higher education institutions is being delivered by Queen Margaret University, The Open University in Scotland and the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO).
Professor Alan Gilloran, vice principal (academic) at Queen Margaret University, said: "At this critical time in our country's development this ground-breaking project offers a win win situation for the future of graduate employment."
Celia Carson, SCVO's policy manager, added: "SCVO's role in supporting third sector organisations means we're well placed to deliver this innovative programme to third sector organisations of all shapes and sizes across the country."
