School-based trainees
The department's engagement with the Public Sector Commission's
School-Based Traineeship program has resulted in 7 trainees who have
had the opportunity to experience a traineeship at the department.
The overall aim of the program is to develop a strong, diverse, and capable
public sector youth workforce.
The department's most recent program graduates embraced the
opportunity to gain valuable work experience. Over an 18-month period
they settled into the department with ease, showing resilience through
the height of the pandemic, while maintaining a school and work-life
balance. They also received an income and a formal qualification, all while
completing their high school education.
After identifying the benefits and opportunities associated with supporting
youth in the workplace the department has implemented a 3-step pathway.
The initial step is completion of the School-Based Traineeship program,
followed by completion of a 12 month corporate traineeship, and then
support in sourcing and applying for suitable positions at the department
or potentially across the public sector.
Two students from the first cohort are participating in this pathway and
have taken up corporate traineeships following notable achievements in
their vocational education and training studies.
The department continued its engagement with the program in February
2023, welcoming 3 new school-based trainees.
Can you provide a highlight of your time/experience at the
department?
Working with so many people, in so many areas - developing the
skills and knowledge I have today wouldn't have been possible
without this opportunity.
What is a typical day of work for you?
There was no set routine I go by, but I actually enjoy that because
every time I come into the office there are new projects I work on
and sometimes these projects take a week or two to complete.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
My dream job has changed because of my traineeship. I now enjoy
working in the public sector more than I can imagine. I hope to see
myself working in the public sector with a career that I am passionate
and enthusiastic about.
