Justin [00:00:00] And what kind of work does a data cadet actually do in the Australian Government? 

Meredith [00:00:03] So there are two roles that we're looking for under the data programme, data analysts and data scientists. Data analysts are the ones who tell the story behind the data that provide real-world insights and communicate these findings in really engaging and meaningful ways. In a data analyst role, you might do work like collecting, analysing and interpreting survey data and census data. You might be designing and testing collection methods and also undertaking quality assurance. For our data scientist roles, if you're interested in big data advanced methods and emerging technologies, then this is the type of role for you. As a data scientist, you'll investigate new data sources and tools to experiment with and to analyse data.
