Notice Title

LGA's Graduate Programmes Situational Judgement Test (SJT) Questions

Notice Description

As part of the LGA's three graduate programmes, Impact: The Local Government Graduate Programme, Impact: Finance and Pathways to Planning, the supplier will design, develop, pilot and refine Situational Judgement Test (SJT) content, for use at the initial sift stage of our graduate recruitment programmes. The successful supplier will develop a bank of SJT questions and responses aligned to each programme's competency framework (see Appendix 11). The bank of questions must cover each programmes competencies equally, grounded in realistic role demands and use a format that minimises unnecessary ambiguity and cognitive load. This will include initial design, piloting with an appropriate sample group, analysis of outcomes and refinement of the SJT content as required, with the explicit aim of ensuring the assessment is robust, accessible and minimises adverse impact.
