Career Prospects at Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA)

Always avenues for secondments - provided you have the approval. Post the program, the world is your oyster.

The grad program is an excellent fast track to promotion with its emphasis on experience and training. I have met many previous grads in high level roles at the department. There is also the opportunity to take secondments in more senior roles which is a great way to gain experience for a few months before trying for the role ongoing

After the completion of the two year graduate program, I feel that promotion possibilities will be accessible. People move up the ranks based on merit, and especially based on people skills and ability to communicate. I feel that promotion opportunities are a little stunted within the two years of the program, however.

I have heard many stories of past graduates taking up better paying roles during their time in the graduate program. These are regularly roles that are a grade higher than what is offered at the completion of the graduate program.

There is a lot of opportunity for movement within the company, through formal job changes and secondments
