Apply early for the best chance of securing a placement with the Government Economic Service.

Details of the GES summer vacation placement scheme 2014 are now available on the GES website (www.civilservice.gov.uk/ges).

The placements are aimed at economics students who are seriously considering a career in the GES after graduation.

The opening date for applications is Tuesday 11 February at 9.00am, and the latest closing date for receipt of applications is Thursday 13 February at 17.00pm. However, the scheme will close before the latest closing date when a sufficient number of applications have been received, and this will be notified on the GES website. It is therefore in the students’ interests to submit their applications as soon as possible after the opening date. Applications submitted after the scheme has closed will not be accepted, nor will those submitted before the opening date.
