A new course to help prepare science graduates for the jobs in the scientific field has been launched in Scotland.
Science Graduates for Work is a skills-boosting programme funded by Skills Development Scotland.
Eight of the nine graduates who started on the course on its launch in March have already secured jobs in science sector.
The 12-week course which combines college-based work with a placement at a life sciences company is hosted at Forth Valley College.
Joanna McGillivray, head of the applied science and computing department at Forth Valley College, said, "Since we started the Science Graduates for Work programme, we've had a terrific response from the industry, with over 20 companies in the sector now keen to offer placements and help these graduates gain the skills they need," she said.
Forth Valley College has campuses in Alloa, Falkirk and Stirling.
