With a vast array of habitats, species and ongoing scientific work, Cairngorms Connect offers various opportunities for students of all ages to interact and contribute to the project. This ranges from work with local schools to funded PhD opportunities.
The next generation are key to advancing Cairngorms Connect’s 200-year vision and we are committed to involving young people in our work. We have highly skilled people working within the Partnership, that can share their knowledge and expertise with local young people like you who are interested in this area for your future career.
We have four types of work experience placements for young people in S4–S6 at Kingussie High School, Grantown Grammer, and Speyside High School. The four placements would involve working in Deer Management, Science and Monitoring, the Cairngorms Connect Tree Nursery, or Youth Engagement.

If you are interested in taking part in one of our work placement opportunities, speak with your teachers who can help you apply.
We are occasionally able to host postgraduate (MSc/PhD) student placements of between 1–4 months. Students must have their own local transport and accommodation. If interested, please send your CV to enquire@cairngormsconnect.org.uk. Please note these opportunities depend greatly on staff availability and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, depending on our requirements and the student’s area of interest and expertise.
