What do recent graduates say are the best things about working with us?

"I have been forced to get out of my comfort zone and push myself in areas that I did not think I would. There is lots of support as a graduate and opportunities to ask lots of questions, seek help and learn. Our graduate coordination ensures that each rotation will be beneficial for our development as a policy officer, and regularly checks in with us about our progress."

​

"One of the main positives is how interesting the work is, and the grads' fairly unique opportunity to be exposed to a large variety of it through our rotations. I also appreciated that this exposure didn't come with excessive responsibilities, giving me the ability to spend a lot more time learning about the areas I rotated through compared to other new starters. Finally, another positive is the friendly and supportive workplace culture I've experienced in each rotation."
