Civil Service Fast Stream Science and Technology Network Webinar
2026-05-28 13:00 - 14:00 | Online
Our overall external engagement aim is to encourage prospective fast stream candidates into the science and technology talent pipeline. As part of our strategy, we are aiming to showcase the science and technology work undertaken by the government. In addition, we want to emphasise the importance and relevance of transferable skills gained from STEM university degrees and how these skills support government work.
We are therefore planning on delivering a series of 1-hour webinars consisting of a short presentation on the academic background and current roles of three fast streamers currently working in a science and/or technology function. This will be supplemented with introductory information about the fast stream and time for Q&A.
This will be our third webinar which has been set up for 1pm on Thursday 28th May involving a new panel of fast streamers to discuss their experiences working in the civil service and its relation to science and technology. The relevant hyperlinks are included below:
· Teams registration (https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/4325e20e-5968-4013-8d83-09484adf8ad1@96f1f6e9-1057-4117-ac28-80cdfe86f8c3)
· Associated handshake event (Discover Science & Technology in the Civil Service Fast Stream (Webinar #3) | Handshake).
We ask that you share this event in May via your standard channels to students who may have an interest in Science and Technology.
