Information for Employers

South Lanarkshire College runs vocational training programmes for adults and young people to equip them with relevant, practical and up-to-date skills.
An integral element of the training is a work experience placement to consolidate their skills and increase their employability.

What benefits will it bring to your business?

• Free, fixed-term additional staff resource:  a no cost solution to tackling time-consuming tasks, enabling your staff to concentrate on your core business function.
• Flexible business support: you decide the tasks, hours and length of the placement.
• Raise the profile of your company: demonstrate your corporate social responsibility; engage with your local community; and gain free advertising - your company logo in our publications.
• Your own staff will benefit from training, mentoring and supervising students.
