Key attributes include excellent presentation and interpersonal skills, enabling the individual to effectively liaise with a wide range of stakeholders and promote collaboration. Strong organisational and project management abilities are necessary to manage multiple projects, record, track, and report engagement activities, ensuring alignment with project milestones and deliverables.

A proactive, adaptable, and solutions-focused mindset, combined with a passion for workforce development and digital security, will enable the candidate to excel in this dynamic and impactful role.

Develop and nurture partnerships with Defence, government, TAFEs, universities, prime contractors and advanced technology industry organisations to support the program, liaising with the Canberra Cyber Hub and Future Skills Organisation
Work with industry and government to map skills gaps, co-design training programs, secure commitment to host pilot cohorts, and shape workplace arrangements for the higher apprenticeship to enable rapid upskilling and scaling of training delivery.
Deliver targeted promotional activities including career interest workshops and forums, schools’ engagement and industry networking forums to raise awareness of cyber pathways, training opportunities and career transitions.
Develop collaborative activities with TAFE CoEs, TAFE Cyber and TAFE partners within the National TAFE Network to streamline content development and promote consistency
Support development of the Cyber Incubator Hub through stakeholder engagement and development of strategy and policy frameworks

Temporary employment offered as a result of this advertisement may lead to permanency/promotion as per the Public Sector Management Standards, Section 14 – Direct appointment of employee – general, and Section 20 – Direct promotion - general and CIT Enterprise Agreements.

How to Apply: Please submit a two-page pitch outlining your suitability for the position against the Selection Criteria, and why you believe you are the best person for the role. Please also provide a current curriculum vitae with contact details for referees.
