Where are my qualifications needed?

Wondering what you can actually do with your degree or whether it fits in government?

You’re not alone. This page helps you explore where your skills and area of study are commonly used, and which agencies may be a good place to start your search.

How to use this page

Most WA public sector agencies recruit people with a wide mix of qualifications, skills and life experience.

Here, you’ll find:

• areas where certain qualifications are a strong match for agency work
• agencies where your field of study is often highly relevant
• a starting point for exploring graduate, cadetship and vacation programs.

This is not a checklist - it’s a guide.

A quick (but important) reminder

Your qualification is just one part of what agencies look for.

Agencies are also interested in:

• your interests and motivation
• transferable skills (communication, teamwork, problem solving)
• willingness to learn and grow.

If your qualification isn’t listed under an agency, don’t rule yourself out - many roles are open to a wide range of study backgrounds.
