Are you an early career professional looking to gain some work experience while studying at university?

At the ABS, you will work on projects that make a real impact and help shape decisions that improve life for all Australians.

A career with the ABS offers valuable industry experience while working on projects that improve the lives of all Australians.

We work with the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) to recruit current university students for the Data and Digital Cadet Program.

The program aims to combine part-time work experience with training to enhance your university studies. You may also be eligible for an academic allowance while you study. When you graduate with a degree in data or digital, you could step straight into full-time work with the ABS.
