Geoscience Australia’s cadetship program was created to encourage people into geoscience and geospatial careers that are rewarding, exciting and diverse. All cadets are exposed to a variety of work environments and participate in a specially designed program that incorporates a number of professional work experience placements, as well as academic mentoring. This experience in the professional arena will help the cadets to make informed decisions about future career pathways in the geoscience and geospatial environments. The program also strives to prepare the cadets for possible future employment with Geoscience Australia.
Applications for our ANU cadetship program will open in April 2009.
