Meet Kelly, a 2018 ASIC Graduate, Law & Arts and Social sciences graduate

“The best part of the ASIC Graduate Program was the variety of the work I got to do. I got to work on a number of high-profile projects, meet with CEOs and board members, liaise with other regulatory and law enforcement agencies, and collaborate with other government departments and industry.I was fully supported by my managers and team members in all aspects of my work and development as a graduate. This included the opportunity to attend various training courses and conferences. I’ve also made close friendships with my graduate cohort, which has endured years after finishing our graduate program.”
