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.
