Great initiative, which I hope inspires these students to consider the FCDO as a future career, and help us attract the best talent from across the UK, regardless of their background.
Last week the @FCDOGovUK’s Social Mobility Network and FCDO Economists virtually co-hosted Year 12 students from northern state schools as part of the @LinacreIns Big Ideas summer school.
