• What matters are commonly dealt with
  
• Career progression and more
  

After the panel discussion, attendees will then have the chance to speak with each panellist in small group.

The Victorian Public Service is looking to hire around 90 graduates for the 2017 Graduate Recruitment and Development Scheme, or as we call it, the GRADS.

Over the 12 months of the GRADS, you will work in three different areas across government in order to gain a breadth of experience and at the end of the GRADS return to your home department.
