In 2019, we ran a graduates and interns scheme to help us with our succession planning and to provide positive experiences for students and graduates in a local government setting. This has been successful and we recruited 4 interns and 21 graduates in 2019 who are enjoying their roles and contributing to our goals.

We're getting ready to advertise for summer interns who’ll work between June and August 2020 to gain work experience in local government whilst they are studying and for graduates (1 or 2 year posts) to give them a positive start to their career in local government.

The adverts will go live in March 2020 and will be advertised on myjobscotland and in local universities and colleges.
