Lots of civil service posts getting the chop so wouldn't be surprised if they scrapped this grad scheme this year. Nothing confirmed though while CS Fast Track has been cancelled already

it's strange cos on the website it seems as tho the applications have opened but I can't actually seem anywhere to go ahead and apply, but i may well just be being a bit daft?

The website page is down so either they are updating it for 2023 or they have scrapped the scheme

I emailed them a while back asking for when the scheme would be open and they got back to me saying they hadn't decided the dates yet but confirmed it was going ahead!

I wonder if they will open now that the civil service fast stream was reinstated?
