Early Careers: Guide to your Online Application Form

Ready to start your online application?
Here are some top tips to help your application stand out:

Choose Wisely
We can only accept one application per person, so take the time to explore our programmes and pick the one that's right for you. Be clear and confident in your choice-it shows you've done your research!

Check Your Basics
Our short application form asks for key details about you and your academic qualifications.
Double-check everything before hitting submit to ensure there are no mistakes.

"By being yourself you'll ensure that not only are you a good fit for the company but, more importantly, the company is the right fit for you!"

Aimee, Graduate

Fresh Eyes
Ask someone to review your CV and application. A second pair of eyes can catch any typos or errors you might have missed, and they might even give you some valuable feedback. 

No Covering Letter Needed
Good news! For our training programmes, a covering letter isn't required-focus on making your application shine.

Know the Requirements
For roles like those in the nuclear business, make sure you meet the minimum criteria before applying. This step saves time and ensures you're set up for success. Follow these tips to give your application the best chance of success. Good luck-we can't wait to see what you've got.
