Foreign Office diplomats and civil servants from across government departments are hitting the pavement to help recruit the brightest university students.
They will travel around the UK as part of the Fast Stream Roadshow from 13 October with the aim of attracting top talent to join the Civil Service Fast Stream graduate programme.
Students will hear about a range of career paths and experiences. The universities to be visited have been chosen based on their academic performance and reputation for student diversity.
In a statement, Foreign and Commonwealth Office director of human resources Menna Rawlings said: “Perceptions of the FCO [Foreign and Commonwealth Office] as a stuffy and elitist institution are out of date. We have high standards, and want to continue to recruit the brightest and the best. But we are keen to reach into wider range universities to ensure our staff are drawn from diverse backgrounds, making us more representative of modern Britain.”
