Laura Aldridge (Careers and Employability Consultant linked to the Faculty of Science) will give a brief 30 minute introduction to the key features of scientific graduate schemes, along with some advice about which types of employers offer them, and how to research these opportunities further. Following this, a representative from the National School of Healthcare Science will deliver a online presentation about the Scientist Training Programme (STP). The STP offers successful applicants the chance to work in a three-year paid job with the NHS as a trainee clinical scientist, whilst gaining approved and accredited training in the workplace, relevant to a particular healthcare science specialism. The talk will give an insight into the STP programme, and the specialised training which it offers. Further advice and tips will also be provided about the application and interview process, for the STP.
