Working for a university fundraising office could be a natural progression for Britons who have just finished their degrees, it has been suggested. A new report by the Independent has suggested that the UK is attempting to change the perception of the career, which is usually associated with cold calling and a high staff turnover. The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (Case) is one body which is looking to recruit graduates with the offer of an £18,000 salary for its one-year training programme. Kerry McCollum, who is currently involved in the scheme at Loughborough University, explained that it has offered her a diverse and challenging experience of the sector. "I've done everything from managing a fundraising dinner at the House of Lords to working in the call centre," the 24-year-old told the newspaper. "You have to push to get the message across that we are raising money for incredibly important things like scholarships for poorer students and grants for important medical research." The Case is a non-profit organisation which currently serves almost 3,400 universities, colleges and schools across the world.
