Attracting diverse, high quality talent to NSW Government is important to building a world class Public Service and one way NSW Government does this is through designing entry-level talent programs such as the NSW Government Virtual Internship Program. This program offers university students an ‘internship like’ experience whilst showcasing the work our graduates do.
As part of this Program, university students complete work modules that reflect real tasks NSW Government graduates work on and gain insight into the functional areas of interest they can choose, if they join the NSW Government Graduate Program. The virtual work modules are interactive and students receive instant feedback upon submitting their work. The Program features modules in Policy, Digital, Data Analysis and Legal, with additional modules being released in the future.
The program was launched by the NSW Public Service Commission in July 2019 and as at September 2020, has seen over 13,000 enrolments from students across New South Wales, Australia and as far reaching as France, Columbia, Nepal, Ghana – the list goes on.
