CCZP17A16 - Communication Fast Stream Qualification
Notice Description
The Cabinet Office's Government Communication Service (GCS) requires the assistance of a Chartered Body to design, develop and deliver an accredited qualification for The Civil Service Fast Stream programme. The Civil Service Fast Stream is an established 4-year programme aimed at recruiting and developing the next generation of leaders. In 2015 the Authority launched a communications Fast Stream that follows the 4-year programme and focuses on communications and leadership skills. At the end of the 4 years, participants are expected to reach senior management level. To progress the Fast Stream (FS) programme, the Authority is looking to provide a professional qualification awarded by a chartered body, for students in their third year. The majority of specialist Fast Stream schemes have a qualification or accreditation built in, for example, Finance, HR and Project Delivery. Developing a communications FS qualification would ensure consistency with other professions. Developing professional leaders is part of the wider Civil Service strategy to improve standards across all functions. More information can be found in the attached Invitation to Tender pack.
