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.
