Whether you are just starting a career or are already working in trading standards, local authorities may back your application for trading standards courses at university and for in-service training with sponsorship and placement opportunities.
Often, once a bond is made with a student on an accredited degree course, the local authority will try to maintain an ongoing relationship with that student, and may even offer a trainee TSO position once graduation has taken place.
For further information about how local authorities can help you to get started, check out the Opportunities section of this web site. Although this section is still under development it will, once complete, give you the chance to post your details for viewing by potential employers some of whom may have trainee vacancies and sponsorship packages on offer.
