Graduates will gain a valuable insight into the workings of the APS and how it operates in relation to Ministers, Government and in a policy setting. There will be opportunities for graduates to raise questions with the speakers and establish networks with graduates from other departments and agencies.

In 2011, following on from the Great APS Graduate Debate, the winning team will endeavour to outwit Secretaries and Agency Heads of the Australian Public Service.
