In addition to comprehensive learning and development, we offer two enhanced development schemes. Professional Technologist Trainee SchemeThe Professional Technologist Trainee Scheme is accredited by the IEE, IIE and BCS, and provides an opportunity for all Technologists who fulfil the institutions' requirements to qualify for Incorporated or Chartered Engineer status. This is achieved on the job, with support from management, technical mentors and the scheme manager using an approved and structured ongoing process of Continuous Personal Development. Overseen by senior technical sponsors, the scheme enables Technologists to gain validation for their technical expertise from respected external institutions, including payment of the annual membership fees of the chosen institution(s). Entry to this is by application to the scheme manager on joining GCHQ. Gateway Development ProgrammeThe Gateway Development Programme is not confined to Technologists. It is a tailored development programme open to those who have worked at GCHQ for at least 12 months. A response to the Modernising Government 'Bringing on Talent' initiative and GCHQ's own Blueprint, it is aimed at developing the skills of those with the most potential, at all levels and in all skills disciplines, regardless of age, grade or qualifications. The form of the scheme will vary for each individual - for example some may want to train as project managers, some as software engineers. The scheme will last between 1 and 3 years, during which participants will be offered the tools and skills to develop via a tailored mixture of placements, secondments, training, mentoring and advice from the scheme manager. Entry is by application form and interview ONLY after 12 months satisfactory employment at GCHQ. |
