The Student Leaders Programme doesn't require you to take on much more additional work and is instead focused on allowing you to identify the skills you are learning through your role as a Welfare volunteer, in order to enhance your CV and greater increase your future employment prospects.

Each year the students participating in the programme will be invited to nominate themselves for the Glasgow Caledonian Student of the Year Award. More details about this will be available on the website soon.

Your staff support for advice and guidance throughout the Programme is Caroline Miller, Welfare Advisor, who can be contacted on 0141 273 1613 or caroline.miller@gcal.ac.uk. or in the Students' Association.
