​​Are you seeking to gain professional experience and want to make a difference for the Tasmanian community? Why not apply for Treasury's Cadet Program!​

Treasury's Cadet Program provides you with a valuable opportunity to study part-time while getting hands-on practical and professional experience in a key government agency.  Experience shows that it's a great way to start your career.

The Cadet Program:

• is a great opportunity to build your personal and professional skills and experience while learning about the many areas of Treasury's business, the Tasmanian State sector and how governments operate;
  
• provides you with the opportunity to be directly involved in a range of issues relating to public policy, the economy, the State Budget, financial management, administration and regulatory frameworks; and
  
• gives you a tailored learning and development program and access to other cadets, mentors and experienced professionals to support your future growth.
  

While participating in the program you will work in a variety of business areas (generally moving to a different area of Treasury every 12 months). The time it takes you to complete the cadetship depends on how much University study you have completed on entry to the program, and any relevant previous work experience. The maximum time is six years on the program before being offered a permanent placement. You will receive paid time off work to attend lectures, tutorials, and exams, over and above normal leave entitlements.

Treasury cadetships involve a series of fixed-term employment contracts which are reviewed on an annual basis. Continuation of the cadetship is subject to achieving high work and academic performance.
