More people living in the Hunter will be able to start a career in the public service, with the Federal Government launching the first Australian Public Service Academy in Newcastle on Wednesday.
Minister for Public Service, Katy Gallagher will be at the University of Newcastle's Advanced Technology Centre on the Callaghan campus for the launch.
She says the APS Campuses give people the option to accept advertised positions without leaving their communities.
The public service is facing critical skill shortages in data and digital roles, with 90 per cent of this expertise located outside of Canberra.
22 new APS employees will start their career in Newcastle.
