The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing, in partnership with the Victorian Council of Social Services, are holding employer information sessions so you can learn more about participating in Round 3 of the Community and Social Services Graduate Program.

Applications for Round 3 will open in April.

About the Program 

DFFH is working with employers and peak bodies to pilot a new whole-of-sector graduate program for community and social services to build and develop the future skilled workforce. 

Investing in a rich and rewarding graduate experience will help us keep new workers in the sector. It will also grow a skilled workforce that community and social services need to meet current and future demand. 

We know it can be difficult to support new starters to develop their skills and experience. By participating in the graduate program employers will have access to:

  • a structured program with learning and development activities to improve retention of workers in their early years of employment
  • funding to share in the cost of investing in early career workers
  • supported recruitment through the Graduate Resource Centre providing access to qualified graduates looking to start their career.

How to register

The next prospective employer information session will be held on Wednesday 5 March 2024 11am – 12pm. 

Register via Humanitix
