Length: Internship (1 Month+)
Roles: Government
Location: London

The FCO is the UK government department responsible for protecting and promoting British interests around the world, through the FCO in London and our network of 270 diplomatic posts in 160 countries around the world. The work of the FCO can be separated in to three areas: political, service delivery and corporate services.

The Role

Are you looking for a placement scheme that will offer you a truly unique experience? Look no further than the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Future Talent Scheme (FTS).

The FTS is a paid six week work experience scheme being run in summer 2014 for 15 undergraduates in their penultimate year at a UK university. 5 of the 15 places will be offered to students studying hard languages. The languages we are focussing on this year are Arabic, Dari, Farsi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Pashtu and Russian.

Designed to give you an early insight into the unique work of the FCO, the placement is an opportunity to find out about the important part you could play here when it comes to your time to enter the job market. The scheme offers a rare chance to experience first-hand the work and culture of the FCO in London, with access to a range of development opportunities during the placement.

Imagine in your future career being able to help shape the way countries act on the global challenge of climate change, or support UK government efforts to tackle extremism. Your work could help to stimulate overseas trade and investment in Britain, or reduce the threat to the world of weapons proliferation? Imagine stepping off a plane, straight into a disaster zone – and being able to help the victims. A career at the FCO could give you all this and more.

We are keen to encourage diversity and welcome applications from disabled candidates who are currently under represented within the FCO.

Closing date for applications is 23rd April 2014
