What happens after a grad year? How should grads prepare for a role in the APS? What about for a role in the private sector? We seek for advice from current and ex-APS grads, so you don’t have to.
It’s now December, and we are almost at the end of Season 1. As current graduates, including our co-host Callum are approaching the end of their grad year, this episode is all about planning for life after grad programs.
