Event Details
We're pleased to see the the Civil Service is continuing with the its 'Care Leavers Internship'.
In their own words, the award-winning Care Leavers Internship Scheme is "designed to be a launchpad for care leavers to help them gain the skills and experience at the start of their working life."
Our care experienced Executive Director, Denise, who worked in the civil service for nearly 30 years often reflects that she 'grew up in the civil service' and says her time there provided her with fantastic career opportunities, stability and life long friends. The term 'Government' can be a scary one to a lot of us, our experience with government institutions has often been painful as well as positive. Denise will be honest about her experience in a environment where most of the people she worked with had a very VERY different upbringing than herself.
Amongst other things Denise will share her experience of starting work, her career progression, learning and travel opportunities and the different departments she worked in.
This conversation is an opportunity for anyone thinking of applying for the Care Leaver Internship or other roles within central or local government to hear from someone who has been there.
