APS capability is as much about how agencies work together, in partnership with business and civil society, as it is about individual skills across core capabilities.
For sustained high performance, strategic workforce planning and a focus on each aspect of an APS career journey is essential. In today’s competitive labour market, the APS focuses on efforts to attract and retain talent, strengthen entry level pathways, and develop its own talent. For a professional APS, learning and development (L&D) must be continuous and backed by opportunities to apply skills and attributes, deepen experiences and facilitate career progression.
