Jessica O'ConnorTo mark Scottish Apprenticeship Week (3rd to 7th March), the Student Loans Company (SLC) has announced it is recruiting 12 new apprentices in Glasgow.
Applications for the Student Finance Officer (SFO) Apprenticeships are now open, and successful candidates will be based in the Hillington office within the customer operations team.
The 12 to 18-month programme will start on 30th June and is being delivered in conjunction with education provider, Babington.
Apprentices will work towards a SCQF level 6 in Business and Administration.
SLC supports students by administering loans and grants to students in universities and colleges across the UK.
The new SFO apprentices will be at the heart of this operation, supporting customers through their student finance journeys and helping to process around 1.5 million applications each year.
Jackie Currie, executive director of customer operations at SLC, said: “It’s fantastic to be launching our latest apprentice search during Scottish Apprenticeship Week.
“The theme for the week is ‘Made for Business’ and I’m proud of the role that SLC plays in developing the talent of the future, through our apprenticeship programmes.”
Currie added: “I’m looking forward to welcoming our new apprentices to the customer operations team this summer and would urge people across Glasgow and the surrounding area to apply.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity to work and gain experience within a large public sector organisation and achieve a recognised qualification at the same time.”
