Civil Service Fast Stream

Jamie

Hello everybody,

I am new to the CIPD community and would just like to introduce myself. My name is Jamie. I currently work in the Civil Service and am on the Civil Service Fast Stream. This is a graduate programme which allows somebody to reach the upper echelons of management at a quicker rate. I chose the HR fast stream as I enjoy helping others and competed the CIPD level 3 as part of my resettlement package when I left the Army. So far I have only been in my first placement for a few weeks, but I am being kept very busy in a brand new team that looks after the HR needs of all of the Senior Civil Servants in my department. During this programme I will also be completing the CIPD level 7 qualification, and so will be able to apply for a senior management role in HR within the Civil Service in 3 years.

So, if anyone has any questions about the Civil Service Fast Stream or the CIPD level 7 (after I begin), then I will be happy to answer them.

Thanks

Jamie

  • Hi Jamie,

    Only yesterday found the Fast Stream, potentially looking into it for 12 months time, would be good to hear your experiences, pro's, con's etc.

    Exploring my options after a selection board asked me "why, with your experience in developing people, are you not looking at becoming a Training officer?"

    Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Ross,

    Sorry for the delayed response. The Fast Stream is a fantastic opportunity. Pro’s so far; autonomy, responsibility, and support. Everything I have done has had those in big supply. Con’s; there are so many points of contact it can get confusing, learning curve is immense and can be stressful at times. Overal, I am enjoying it and am so glad that I applied.

    Good luck with your application next year.
