The ANU College of Science is now launching the Indigenous Cadetship 2024 program. This unique program has been designed to create and facilitate job readiness, career development, and job prospects for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Its goal is to provide participants with valuable, creative, and motivating projects that allow them to showcase their individual achievements and skill growth while also creating pathways for future employment and personal development. The Cadetship is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples who are leaving school and wish to experience what the ANU College of Science has to offer before they decide to attend university or pursue secondary study. It is also for people already studying at the university so they can broaden their skill set and knowledge within science, and it is also open to PhD students.
For more information, please visit this page, and don't hesitate to share this opportunity with anyone who might be interested in applying.
The ANU is pleased to introduce a new support service for staff, aimed at providing a safe, respectful, and confidential space.
