Get ready to apply

Built only from what this listing states.

A short application, by our reading.

1. What to get ready

An online form; it names no documents. Some forms do not save as you go, so set aside time to do it in one sitting.

In their words: “Application through the GROW website, or a physical form from a district GROW Focal Point Officer. Refugee women apply through settlement commandants.”

2. Dates

No closing date is stated.
Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. Our advice
On the date, the listing says: The online form is live. GROW advertises each training event as it is planned, and no dates are published.

Tips for applying for a programme

General advice from us, the same for every programme. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.

Check the dates and the time it needs. Programmes often need you at set times, and missing sessions can mean losing your place.
Say plainly what you want from it and what you will do with it after.
If it asks about a project or business, describe what exists today, not only what you hope for.

If there is an interview or a test

Expect to be asked why now, and what you will do if you are not chosen.
Be ready to describe your project in two minutes, in plain words.

All our tips and messages to copy. Practise answering, with nothing kept. Received an offer? Check whether it is real, then read before you say yes.
