How do I get started?

If you have a project in mind, speak to your local contact at Business Gateway, Scottish Enterprise or Highlands and Islands Enterprise.

If you don't have a local contact, call 0845 371 5444 or email the TalentScotland Graduate Placement Programme team.

If you're based in the Highlands and Islands, please contact placements@hient.co.uk or call 01463 244 488.

The Graduate Placement Programme team will then work with you to finalise the project specification and advertise the placement vacancy.

Your vacancy will be advertised through this website, the Scottish University Careers Services, and through social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter.

The Graduate Placement Programme team will screen and select graduate applications that are eligible for the programme, match the project and company needs and forward to the company for review.  Your company will then interview and appoint the successful graduate.

You must also complete a start and end of placement evaluation form to measure the success of the placement.
