This is a reminder that The Government Economic Service (GES) will
begin accepting applications for the GES centrally-run sandwich student
placement scheme for 2015-16
Today, Wednesday 8 October at 9.00am.
These placements are aimed at economics
students who are seriously considering a career in the GES after graduation and
this is an extremely high profile programme, which will serve as a fantastic
springboard for a career in economics. The list of participating Departments,
job descriptions and a Word version of the application form will now be published
on the website: www.civilservice.gov.uk/ges
The opening date for applications is Wednesday
8 October at 9.00am.
The scheme will close as soon as sufficient
applications have been received, and this will be notified on the GES website.
Applications submitted after the scheme has closed will not be accepted, nor
will those submitted before the opening date/time. Applicants not studying for
a recognised sandwich degree course must have permission from their university
to undertake a year placement. Students will be asked to provide a reference
from their university economics tutor, confirming their suitability, at the
invitation to interview stage.
Although GES will not begin accepting
applications until Wednesday 8 October, more information about the scheme
itself and how to apply will be on their website tomorrow - www.civilservice.gov.uk/ges - so
you can prepare your application before the scheme opens.

programme attached. To find out the sort of roles and experience that you could
