About the workshop
Introduction to the Public Sector: Essential Skills Workshop provides a structured and comprehensive orientation for new employees entering the Australian Public Service (APS). The workshop introduces participants to the essential knowledge, skills, values, and principles required to excel in the public sector. It serves as a foundational training program, emphasising professionalism, ethics, and the alignment of staff with the APS's mission and objectives. The concept is based on the idea that a well-prepared and informed workforce is crucial for the success of the APS, ensuring that new staff are equipped to serve the public effectively, uphold ethical standards, and adapt to the dynamic nature of public service.
