Pros & Cons
The Policy Futures Graduate Program is designed to create a 'built-in network' amongst your cohort, and does so incredibly well. I made incredible friends quickly within the cohort.
The work conditions are extremely flexible. People I have worked with are also very supportive.
The level of support graduates are given has been one of the best things about working here. The graduate program team have organised many helpful learning and development days.
The wide range of opportunities and support for graduate development. I've been contributing to meaningful work from the first week of my employment.
My company is also very flexible with taking leave and work from home arrangements.
Not having a guaranteed permanent position at the end of the program like most other government graduate programs offer.
Workloads vary greatly depending across teams, and Graduates often report feeling underutilised.
I wish there was more research and analysis work... felt that quite a bit of the work I did was copy and paste of pre-existing work."
For me personally, it's my commute which is 4hrs+ round trip.
Don't always get your top-preferenced rotations (though the coordinators do their best to match you with the best possible team each rotation).

Career Prospects
The program has a great reputation within the Queensland Government, enabling Graduates to find promotion opportunities relatively easily during or after leaving the program.
The quality and volume of formal training is fantastic. The program starts with a full week of training, and totals upwards of 30 days L&D in the first year.
