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.”
