More details

Have you ever considered applying for the Civil Service Fast Stream (the primary graduate entry programme into the Civil Service) but thought this was not for you? Or perhaps you were not aware of the Civil Service Fast Stream?

This session, which is open to students from any programme, will provide an overview of the Civil Service, the Fast Stream, and the variety of opportunities available.

The session will have presentations from:
  • Phil Wilson, former Chief assessor for the Civil Service Fast Stream, who will talk about the scheme and why the Civil Service wants students like YOU to apply
  • Vicky Scally, who has recently succeeded in her application to the CS internship scheme and will speak about how the PSDMS programme supported her
  • Ciara Winston, who has recently succeeded in her application to the Fast Stream and will speak about how the PSDMS programme supported her through both the internship scheme and then the Fast Stream application process, sharing insights
  • Blaine Christopher, a current Fast Streamer and one of our mentors who will talk about what to expect if you succeed in getting onto the Fast Stream
  • Emily Staricoff, a current civil servant now pursuing a high level Civil service career after completing the Fast Stream programme who will look at what you can expect from a Civil service career after the Fast Stream
  • You will also hear about how to join the FDA Public Sector Development and Mentoring Scheme (FREE) link up with a mentor and have access to online training
