Intelligence & Security Development Program
I joined the DIGO Intelligence Development Program in 2011 after completing a Science degree. I wanted to work for the Department of Defence, and the 12-month DIDP has provided me with excellent training and the skills to undertake imagery and geospatial intelligence analysis. I enjoyed the imagery intelligence training and gained many friends from the graduate program. I have received valuable mentoring from more experienced intelligence analysts and the workplace rotations allowed me to see different aspects of the organisation and how it forms part of the Australian Intelligence Community. The work is rewarding and within my first year at DIGO I have produced intelligence products which contribute to keeping the Australian Government and Defence Force informed on issues of national security and supports government decision-making. The experiences I have gained are unique to the intelligence community and I am looking forward to developing my career as an GEOINT Analyst with DIGO.
