FUTURE WORKFORCE
Make opportunities for design people to move from university to government
The Policy Design Community provides a network for people who make public policy and services in innovative design-centred ways. It is open to anyone who works for a government organisation in the UK.
Future Practice is a working group of the policy design community. This group works to improve the employment pipeline for design students to move into government as design practitioners.
The group aims to...
- establish a joint programme with universities to offer work experience for post graduate students
- formally recognise the policy design role with DDAT, Operational Delivery and Policy Profession
- investigate the viability of a policy design apprenticeship and fast stream
You can join the Future Workforce group by emailing policy.design@policyprofession.gov.uk from your government email address.
