Business Advisor

“I am 100% better off having taken the leap into the programme, leaving Auckland, and giving myself the chance to explore outside of the linear perspective I formed at uni about what work I could get involved with. I feel confident walking into opportunities knowing I have the skills to work it out as I go.

“I am excited to head to MBIE to join the Technology Strategy & Architecture team for my final rotation in the GovTech program. The last 16 months have helped me distil my interests and directed me to this new opportunity.”

Why should graduates apply? 

“If you have read this far into the information around GovTech, you are the target audience for this program. You don't need to have it all sussed out; the program is about cultivating the capability of curious humans who want to have a positive impact in the work they do. Each rotation is like a hypothesis about a stream of work you are interested in. Then you get eight months to test if the work is the right fit!”
