Profile: Piece of a Fast Streamer – Laura Jayawardane

For the past 2 years, I have worked on the Civil Service graduate programme, the Fast Stream. I joined the Fast Stream immediately after completing my degree in International Relations and History at the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE). When I applied, I saw the programme as an excellent opportunity to work in a job where I would be given early responsibility, feel challenged and work on issues that matter and more importantly, make a difference in society. When I was appointed to the Home Office as a Fast Streamer, the job lived up to and exceeded my expectations.
