Studying at university and wondering where your degree could take you?
In the WA public sector, graduates come from a wide range of study areas including business, arts, science, IT, law, health and engineering. What many grads discover is that their degree doesn’t lock them into one narrow career path.
“There’s such a diversity of work that sometimes explaining what you do for a job can be quite tricky.
“You get your hand in so many different things that it’s really exciting,” shares Ethan, a current graduate officer.
Whether you’re interested in policy, projects, digital and data, community engagement, environment or corporate roles, there are opportunities across the WA public sector to build experience and find your fit.
For some grads, it’s the chance to work on issues that matter to the community that really stands out.
“I was really intrigued by the work which has impact across the entire state” says Blake, a 2022 graduate officer and now Policy Officer.
As Steve can attest, our graduate programs open doors to long term careers and leadership pathways. He started as a graduate officer in 2014 and is now an executive director in the public sector.
“You can’t lose in a government grad program. I think there’s something for everyone.”
