STEM Cadetship Program

Defence is committed to providing entry-level employment opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The STEM Cadetship offers students a head start to a rewarding career in Defence by offering an entry-level employment pathway for high performing tertiary students currently studying a relevant Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) or Photography and Imaging degree.

As a STEM Cadet, you'll be employed as an Australian Public Service (APS) employee where you'll be provided with real-world, practical and high-quality work in the Department of Defence, which includes Defence Science and Technology.
