Dept of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (Vacation Employment Program)

The DAFF University Vacation Employment Program (UVEP) is designed for students currently studying at university and is available to students from all disciplines.

The positions are generally located in Canberra, however depending on organisational requirements placements may also be available in our state offices. Participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements, as financial assistance is not provided by DAFF.

UVEP is a great way for students to gain paid work experience prior to graduating along with an insight into employment opportunities within the department including the Graduate Development Program. UVEP offers invaluable experience for all participants, providing exposure to portfolio related issues and giving you an excellent standing for your future career.

UVEP involves six weeks of paid work experience from 10 January to 18 February 2011. Participants will be employed as non-ongoing (temporary) full-time.
