Green power firm ScottishPower has launched a "paid to learn" scholarship with its parent company Iberdrola to attract new recruits into the energy sector.

The programme will see the company pay a year's tuition, accommodation and travel expenses for graduates and final-year students whilst they study at one of 20 top universities across the UK, Europe and beyond.

Applicants can choose from Universities of Cambridge, Strathclyde or the Imperial College of London, in the United Kingdom; the Universidad Pontificia de Comillas or the Polytechnic Universities of Madrid, Valencia and the Basque Country, in Spain; among others.

ScottishPower is recruiting over 1,000 people this year across all levels of skills and experience and this scholarship is just one of many ways the company is helping promotes the employability of young people in a sector that will generate thousands of jobs in the coming years.
