Not sure if it opens yearly - last year's was a different programme and only lasted a year. Applications opened this year in January/February, and closed on 4 March.

There were online tests and a sift of the application forms which was all completed by beginning April with assessment centres taking place from mid-April to end June.
Hi! Would those who are joining the program be keen to join a Facebook group, just to say hi and get to know each other a tad before we all move to Whitehall or East Kilbride? I’ll be relocating quite a distance and would love to have some friendly faces to look forward to!

Wonderful! I'll make a group on facebook and hopefully others will find us :smile: I'll call it DFID Entry Talent Programme 2018 Offer Holders.

Would you mind messaging me your name or email address? FB requires I add at least one person in order to create the group. If you'd rather not I'm happy to message you my details and you can create the group :smile:

Absolutely!

It definitely means that you'll be on the list in case anyone's employment checks flop, or anyone drops out.

I got an offer, but it is dependent on references etc. and makes clear in the email that it is provisional at this stage.


Hi Aehendy :smile: A couple of us have started up a little fb group for those starting in October if you'd like to come say hi! You can find it by searching "DFID Entry Talent Programme 2018 Offer Holders" :smile:

Nope - it’s been 10 weeks. Has anybody had a response from the DFID talent scheme email? I’ve contacted them twice once about reserve applicants and again asking when feedback would be out and I’ve not had a reply either time? Beginning to think it’s a dormant mailbox :frown:

The sheet explaining feedback wasn't attached to the email. I've managed to source a copy if anyone would like it. They must've had some exceptional candidates! Well done and good luck for when you start
hiya, could you send me the feedback sheet if possible? thanks!

Hello! Does anyone have any information on when the applications open for 2019 Entry Programme? I can only seem to find information about it for 2018.
