What career path will you take?

Find out about the different types of career pathways that the programme offers.

During the GovTechTalent graduate programme, you will have the opportunity to work in a variety of roles within various Government Agencies. You won’t necessarily be doing ‘technical’ work. For example, your role could be a Policy Analyst in the Cybersecurity team or a Project Coordinator in the digital integration space, using your practical knowledge and applying it to improve Aotearoa’s digital and technological capabilities.

Your first placement will be carefully selected for you by the GovTechTalent team based on your skills, interests and positions available within each agency. For your second placement, you’ll be able to influence the type of role you are selected for and will have a say about which agency you work in.
