Perth College UHI scholarship dinner |
Businesses have strengthened their relationship with the workforce of the future at Perth College UHI with a scholarship lunch. Held in the College’s training restaurant, the lunch was held for students to celebrate their success in winning a scholarship and for benefactors to thank them for their support on Thursday 17 November.
The scholarship scheme, managed by the Perth College UHI Development Trust, provides thousands of pounds of support each year to a number of students.
Fiona Leslie, Development Trust Manager said: “The scholarships are a great way to work with businesses and help develop a highly skilled workforce for the future. Students gain added employability skills and added confidence knowing that someone has invested in them.
“The partnership also has great advantages for the benefactor as they have the chance to mould the students to suit their organisation and to train potential recruits for the future. They can also take the opportunity to promote their organisation through advertising closer links with students studying at the College.”
