The State Government website ‘WA.gov.au’ has featured the Public Sector Commission’s Aboriginal Traineeship Program.
The first in this series involves a conversation with Tyler McMiles (pictured) who explains that his family helped push him towards finding a place in the public sector through the traineeship program.
“I first heard about it from my mum who works for the Department of Communities,” Mr McMiles said.
“She gave me an insight into working in Government and what it could be like.”
Although his family comes from NSW, Mr McMiles was born and raised in Western Australia. An all-round athlete, he has a Certificate II in Sport and Recreation.
“The Aboriginal Traineeship Program stood out to me as a great opportunity. It looked interesting so I decided to go for it and I haven’t looked back since,” he said.
WA.gov.au is for people who need to interact with the Government, including citizens and residents, business owners, public sector employees and people who want to move to or visit Western Australia.
The information on the website is brought together from a range of Government Agencies and the Aboriginal Traineeship Program is an important initiative run by the Commission to create a future-fit, collaborative and diverse public sector, and help today’s young people develop the skills to be tomorrow’s public sector leaders.
