Applications are now open for the Western Australia Government\u2019s 2026 Digital Public Sector Graduate Program, as the state seeks to attract the next generation of talented professionals.<\/p>\n
The state\u2019s whole-of-Government Digital Public Sector Graduate Program, which is being led by the Office of Digital Government, is hoping to attract top-tier science, technology, engineering and maths graduates.<\/p>\n
So far, 49 graduates have participated in the Program across 17 government agencies since the program began in 2024.<\/p>\n
In its inaugural year, the Program saw the WA Government gain recognition as a Top Graduate Employer from the Australian Association of Graduate Employers.<\/p>\n
Graduates who take part in the Program are able to apply their talents across a range of specialised streams within the ICT field, including cyber security, data science, ICT operations, and the new geospatial information systems stream introduced in 2025, through a structured series of agency rotations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cook Government welcomes news that this program has been so well-received by both graduates and agencies and is recognised as one of the top programs in Australia,\u201d said WA\u2019s Science and Innovation Minister, Stephen Dawson.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis program\u2019s success in recruiting top-tier STEM graduates and partnering with 17 government agencies since 2024 highlights our dedication to fostering a skilled and dynamic workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n
