he innovative Education into Enterprise work placement programme is now fully launched across Scottish businesses, with many work placements underway. Education into Enterprise (EiE) provides employers with student resource to work on project based activity, delivering tangible benefits for the businesses involved. Employers lead on the length and timing of the placements, are assisted directly by the work placement co-ordinators in scoping and launching the project work, and are supported throughout the duration of the placements with practical project management advice. The Scottish Chambers of Commerce is the lead business partner for the programme, working closely with the Alliance of Sector Skills Councils Scotland to ensure business needs are managed effectively. The programme is managed within the area by Abertay University, Dundee College, Adam Smith College and Elmwood College. Students are also available from the nearby Forth Valley College and West Lothian College – all within a commutable distance from Perth businesses. The above establishments currently have over 200 students registered with the programme; students eager to become involved with local businesses and use their skills to deliver project benefits. The dedicated team of EiE co-ordinators is busy working with local businesses, short-listing students for the current placements and sourcing more placements for release. The programme has many companies already registered with placements currently available in areas such as IT, Marketing, Administration, Web Design and Construction Management. Businesses are being targeted across a wide variety of sectors and the co-ordinators are more than happy to visit individuals and discuss their business requirements with a view to matching the appropriately qualified student to the placement. If you are interested in finding out more – register now at www.educationintoenterprise.org and you will be contacted by the local EiE co-ordinator. If you would rather speak to a co-ordinator directly at this stage, please contact Nicola Tully (n.tully@dundeecollege.ac.uk) or Munwar Hussain (m.hussain@ abertay.ac.uk) who will be happy to run through the programme, and ensure that you are matched with a student who best suits your needs from those registered across all programme partners.
