We asked some of the school leavers to tell us about their time on the Civil Service Fast Track Scheme and here’s what they thought...

Business

“My skills have developed tremendously and I have flourished as an individual and as a potential leader in the Civil Service. The scheme has been truly rewarding.” – Aliane, Talent Management Officer

Digital and Technology

“Being able to do real work alongside experienced developers has massively accelerated my professional development. I have enjoyed every part of the scheme so far and this is down to the variety of work that I do; it has never become monotonous because it’s always changing!” – Sam, Software Developer

Finance

“As well as providing me with financial skills, the Fast Track has given me the chance to meet new people and develop networks that will be invaluable to me as I progress my career.” – Gurdeep, Treasury and Scheme Accountant

Project Delivery

“I have learnt new skills and developed as a professional thanks to the opportunities the scheme has given me, such as shadowing directors, collaboration days and social events. I feel my decision to earn, learn and succeed in the public sector has given me a clear vision for my future.” – Kyran, Project Support Officer

Commercial

My apprenticeship has given me a real insight into the commercial world and allowed me to gain a level of experience and skills that I wouldn’t have been able to get at university. I truly feel that the Fast Track is an excellent way to kick-start your career.” – Emma, Sourcing Executive
