About the podcast
In our monthly episodes, we talk about the life of an APS Graduate. From tips and tricks to start your career in the Australian Public Service (APS) to funny and relatable stories like ‘what should you NOT wear for Friday casuals?’.
Produced by contentgroup and sponsored by Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC), Gradcast follows a ‘magazine’ style format with shorter conversational segments. We feature guests from the APS and outside who provide you with practical tips for your career growth and share their funny mistakes, so you don’t have to repeat them.
Are you looking to join the APS? or are you a current APS graduate? This podcast is just for you.
