DEEWR ICT Internship ProgramJob Description
The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) is a professional, innovative and customer-focused Commonwealth department that provides the government with high quality advice, programs and services to provide education and training opportunities for all Australians; to increase employment participation; and to ensure fair and productive workplaces. The Internship Program has been running since 2006 and is designed to address skill shortages in ICT areas across the department. Interns will be engaged on a non-ongoing basis at the APS1 level for an initial period of three months, with the option to be extended. As an ICT Intern you will gain paid experience in the ICT environment, whilst providing the flexibility to complete your degree. The department is seeking to employ ICT Graduates for the 2014 DEEWR Graduate Program. It is our intention to fill our graduate positions with the most promising participants in our 2012/2013 ICT Internship Program, commencing from late November 2012. At the conclusion of the ICT Internship Program the department may make offers of graduate employment to commence in February 2014. Participation in the ICT Internship Program does not guarantee you a position as an ICT graduate. Interns will receive on the job training and pastoral support from people with valuable experience, and insight into the teams operations. You will get experience through close contact with clients, participation in team meetings, and regular, considered feedback from supervisors. Applicants will be required to enter into an Individual Performance and Development Plan similar to that currently applied to ICT Graduates employed by the Department. DEEWR ICTTechnology is embedded in all government operations and without it, the delivery of the government’s productivity, social inclusion and participation agenda by DEEWR would be challenging.

Through close alignment with the department’s goals and strategies identified in our Strategic Plan, DEEWR’s ICT can deliver the services, technology and solutions to help achieve our vision of a productive and inclusive Australia.
