I’ve heard rumours that there is a pathway for it.
There is no formal pathway to it internally. You'll still have to pass the tests and interviews like the general public. The only advantage you might get is the admin side of it because of having an ASIC and company profile, and being somewhat familiar with the role.
A possible disadvantage is a conflict of interest because you'd have done or seen ATC sim exams as an SSO.
