From time to time we have provided work experience opportunities to individual graduates to assist us with specific aspects of our work such as video production and social media marketing.
LCMF also has works closely with staff of UHI music departments at UHI Alness and UHI Perth.

SDS was a funding partner in the Fund's first, highly successful 'Setting the Stage' workshop.
Besides funding, SDS assisted the project with guidance and input on the project's evaluation process as well as facilitating links to schools to promote the workshop to potential trainees.
