The APS Academy is seeking Australian Public Service (APS) agency expressions of interest in whole-of-APS Graduate development opportunities for 2024 intakes. These opportunities develop the foundational skills, behaviours, mindsets and networks Graduates need to make a significant contribution in the APS.
There are a range of options, from full participation in the APS Graduate Development Program through to events or coaching only. These cater for all agencies, from those looking for options to fully meet their Graduate development needs, to those wanting to supplement their existing development programs.
Whether your agency has participated in the program previously or are considering joining for the first time, email the Academy’s Graduate Development team by 3 November 2023 to find out more and to advise of your agency’s interest and anticipated numbers.
- APS Graduate Development Program. Commencing in February 2024, the 10-month program includes 10 learning courses, access to the full suite of ‘whole of APS’ Graduate events and individual coaching sessions.
- ‘Whole of APS’ Graduate Event Series. Commencing in March 2024, the series brings Graduates together for interactive and informative workshops. Agencies can select virtual or in-person participation, or both.
- Coaching. Usually reserved for senior executives, coaching packages are a unique and valuable option for providing extra support throughout the Graduate year.
