For public-sector organisations
Career and Leadership Development Workshops for Your Team
We deliver engaging, impactful and aligned career and leadership development training for organisations Australia wide. As experienced career development practitioners specialised in professional development that meets professionals at every stage of their career, from graduate programs and early careers to tailored development for senior leadership teams, we’ve gained a reputation for supporting teams large and small to effectively navigate their careers with confidence and perform at their best.
Practical capability participants can use immediately
Workshops are designed around the organisation, cohort and outcomes—not delivered as a generic presentation. Topics can include:
- public-sector resumes and application strategy;
- selection criteria and STAR evidence;
- interview preparation and panel communication;
- career planning and professional positioning;
- LinkedIn and personal brand;
- graduate and emerging-professional development; and
- leadership and promotion readiness.
Flexible delivery for your workforce
Programs can be delivered as:
- a single focused workshop;
- a multi-part development series;
- an annual or cohort-based program;
- live online sessions for distributed teams;
- in-person delivery by arrangement; or
- supporting on-demand and learning-management-system resources.
Examples, activities and emphasis are tailored to the audience level and organisational context.
Programs for each career stage
Professional Resumes Australia supports graduates and emerging professionals, APS and equivalent employees, aspiring EL leaders, senior cohorts, young professional networks and organisation-wide development programs. We work with the internal project lead to clarify objectives, audience, format, timing and measures of a useful session before confirming scope.

Thank you to Michaela and Emma for flexibly designing and delivering impactful two-hour sessions, covering big topics including personal branding, elevator pitches and career and leadership development plans. The high participation and energy from more than 100 young professionals across the Communities and Justice portfolio made this experience incredibly rewarding.
