Event Description
- Full Description:
- The role of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) is to advance the interests of Australians domestically and internationally. This involves working to strengthen Australia's security; enhancing Australia's prosperity; and helping Australian travellers and Australians overseas. DFAT provides foreign and trade policy advice to the government. We work with other government agencies to ensure that Australia's pursuit of its global, regional and bilateral interests is coordinated effectively.
DFAT runs two graduate programs each year:
The Policy Graduate Program is for applicants from all academic backgrounds and prepares successful candidates for a career as a generalist policy officer.
The Corporate Graduate Program is for those with Commerce, accounting, HRM, ICT or similar qualifications. The program prepares trainees for a career managing department’s human and financial resources and programs, and corporate strategies.
DFAT’s graduates undertake a two-year professional development program in Canberra, combining work placements with formal training modules. This enables our graduates to develop a broad knowledge and understanding of the Government's foreign, trade and development priorities, the international environment and the department's financial and corporate context.
The program commences in February with a comprehensive induction program. On completion of the program, graduates take up a longer-term placement in DFAT and become eligible to apply for overseas postings.
