Shakti Women’s Aid works with schools, colleges and universities in Edinburgh, the Lothians and beyond to support higher and further education students on placement, from short-term week-long allocations to 6 month placements.

All higher education requests must come directly from schools (who are registered with Gateway School Work Experience Programme or West Lothian Council’s Enterprise in Education Programme); further education requests can be made by individual students but must be followed by a meeting with placement supervisor/coordinator of the university or college.

If you are interested to learn more about our placements or would like to discuss a possible placement with us, please contact the Information & Education Team on 0131 558 2500 or 0131 475 2399, or send us a message via the Contact Us page.

For reasons of confidentiality however Shakti Women’s Aid does not take on volunteers.
