Application
Once you've found a role that matches your interests, skills and the time you want to dedicate, it's time to submit your application! In the application, you will be asked to provide some information about; yourself, the role(s) you are interested in, what stage of your education/training you are currently at and the details of at least one person (up to 2 people) who can provide a reference.

These three questions can be answered in various formats. You can type directly into the application form, record your answers on video/voice note, create a poster or write a song/poem (or something else!) to answer the questions.
