Frequently asked questions

I'm a bit sceptical about buying it, is it worth it? 100% worth it and here's 3 key reasons why:

✅ This is the first ever resource which brings together all live internships and graduate schemes from across the civil service, parliament and local government in one place - saving you hours of endless scrolling through multiple websites!

✅ The toolkit features a shortlisting strategy and summary tables, where you can easily compare and assess the eligibility criteria of all the schemes to make an informed decision about which one suits you - rather than leaving it to guesswork!

✅ You'll discover opportunities you didn't know existed, broadening your scope for success!

Is this toolkit endorsed by the Government? If not, does it have credibility?

Whilst this toolkit is not an official UK Government product, it's been developed using my own 12 year professional experience as a civil servant leader working in 5 central Government departments.

Empowering diverse young people using this toolkit is more than just a business for me, it's my core purpose and passion, This toolkit was carefully created with YOU in mind, an awareness of the challenging job market graduates are finding themselves in and first-hand experience of what it's like to kick-start your career via a Top 100 competitive Government graduate scheme.

I am a science student, is this toolkit relevant for me?

Yes, if you want to pursue a public health policy career or use your academic scientific knowledge to work on meaningful issues - there's several schemes where you could be working at places like, the Department for Health & Social Care or the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade.

All of the opportunities featured in the pack are open to students from all degree disciplines.
