Digital Public Sector Graduate Program null

The future is digital.

Some of WA’s largest Government agencies have come together to offer a 12-month rotational graduate program. Upon successful completion of the program, you will be permanently appointed to an agency to continue your professional career. What’s better than one graduate program? Three in one!

The Opportunity.

This is a great opportunity to join an innovative program which will see graduates contributing their skills and ideas to projects across the public sector. Over 12 months, graduates will rotate up to three times, to various government agencies and develop skills across a range of digital skills.
