Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how the Civil Service Fast Stream programme is promoted to students in Northern Ireland.
Answered by Lord Maude of Horsham
The Civil Service Fast Stream marketing team use the careers site, advertising campaigns, on-campus promotions and events and social media to promote the Civil Service's graduate development programme across the UK. The Northern Ireland Civil Service is a separate organisation from the Home Civil Service and therefore employs graduates separately through the Northern Ireland Fast Stream.
In 2013 the Fast Stream marketing team used the free vacancy advertising service offered by the University of Ulster and Queen's University Belfast to promote Fast Stream Opportunities.. The Fast Stream programmes are also advertised on graduate recruitment websites with databases of over 700,000 students across the UK. Last October, Fast Stream representatives attended the Business and Finance Fair at Queen's University Belfast to generate awareness and attract talented students to the Civil Service.
