About you
I am a law and psychology graduate with experience in private law. Our graduate cohort consists of people from diverse backgrounds, and I enjoy being in this environment where my experience is appreciated while learning from others.
What interested you most about the program?
The program offers great opportunities to work on important policy matters impacting everyday Queenslanders. It also provides comprehensive training to support graduate development as a well-rounded professional.
How was the recruitment process?
The recruitment process was comprehensive, and I benefited a lot from the team’s support and friendliness. I can appreciate the purpose behind each stage of the application. The team also gave up timely updates at every step of the application process.
Is the program what you thought it would be?
The program is beyond what I could hope for from a graduate program. I knew I would receive training and have three work rotations across the Queensland Government. But the most amazing things are our close-knit cohort and support from the Policy Futures team.
How does the program fit into your long-term goal/career direction?
The Policy Futures team takes into account my career goals as well as the skills and knowledge I want to gain in choosing my rotations. At the same time, the program also allows me to challenge myself by working in areas I have not worked in before.
What have the highlights of the program been so far?
I enjoy our close-knit graduate cohort and the comprehensive training program. Our cohort is always supportive of each other, putting us in a good position to create and maintain a long-lasting network of people with a passion for serving Queenslanders.
Do you have any tips and advice for students/graduates thinking about applying for Policy Futures?
Be confident about who you are and what you can offer. Everyone is different, and that diversity is essential to building good policy for all Queenslanders!
