Career mobility - grow your career

The Northern Territory Public Sector (NTPS) helps you build your skills and grow your career through a range of career mobility options.

Opportunities

There are opportunities for career mobility within the NTPS or outside of it, depending on your interests and ambitions.

The NTPS offers career mobility through secondments, transfers and reassignments. This can be with a government agency or an external organisation.

  • develop new skills

  • you get to share your learning and expertise
  • it promotes better relationships between agencies and with external organisations.
