HOW TO APPLY



If you want to know more about how to apply and what we ask you on the application form please see the video below. Caitlin, our Programmes Delivery Officer talks through the application form.

  • Before you Apply

    Your first step to join Stand Out is to register your interest. We'll ask you a few basic questions about who you are, your current employment status, and where you’re based. We’ll use this information in two ways:


    1. (If you give us permission) We’ll email you with hints and tips in the run up to the day on which the full application form opens. We’ll also include opportunities – both paid for and to volunteer – in our regular weekly round up. The moment that applications open, we’ll let you know and you’ll have the first chance to snap up one of the spaces on the programme. 



    2. A member of our team will also get in touch with you if you don’t go on to apply. We want to make sure we haven’t put you off! We’re also keen to know if you’ve found a job already, or whether you just need a bit of help with your application. We’re a friendly team, and want to make things as straightforward for you as possible!

  • Applying

    You can apply by clicking here.


    Our application form should take you no more than 10 - 15 mins max to complete, but you can save it and return and complete it later.


    We ask for a bit of information that will help us start to tailor and adapt the programme to your individual needs as much as possible – for example your personal statement and career interests. As Stand Out is funded by the Youth Futures Foundation, we’ll also ask you some information which is quite personal. You don’t need to complete this if you don’t want to, although most applicants do. Importantly, the information we collect is only used in connection with your application and to help us understand the impact of Stand Out. From the point that we offer you a place, no-one in the team knows anything about you, except what you share with them.


    We assess every application for Stand Out individually in order to ensure that we’re providing support where it’s most needed, and on previous cohorts we’ve been able to let applicants know whether or not they’ve been successful very soon after they’ve applied – we hope to be able to do the same again with Stand Out.
