Use ScotGrad to find the right graduate for work placements to help your Highlands and Islands company or social enterprise grow.
Your business will benefit from someone eager to put their talents and qualifications to work over three to twelve months.
The ScotGrad service is available for businesses and organisations in the Highlands and Islands Enterprise area. It can connect you with graduates with HNC, HND, undergraduate or postgraduate degrees in a wide range of disciplines.
The programme gives organisations an opportunity to carry out a specific project which they would not have otherwise done.
Getting started
You need to have a defined project for your graduate to work on which will focus on growing your organisation and deliver measurable outputs and outcomes. They shouldn't be doing the day-to-day work.
You need to pay a salary which meets the level set by ScotGrad.
Depending on type of placement, project eligibility and location, you may be eligible for funding for your graduate or student placement project.
