We are looking for candidates who work in various functions within the regulatory life cycle (from policy or regulation design, through to implementation) and staff who carry out those roles and can occupy different groups and levels across various government departments, industry sectors and non-governmental organizations.

In addition to 2-8 years experience, we are also asking for the candidate’s CV a letter of support. This will help the selection team get a sense of what experience the candidate brings to the program, and where he/she/they is looking to develop more skills. Part of our goal in reviewing these documents is to create a cohort of participants who have different experiences, work in different regulatory functions across an array of subject areas. This will enhance the learning of all present, and bring a richness to the classroom discussions and learning activities.
