The Victorian Government is supporting two places for the 2012 intake for the Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA).

The EMPA is a two-year, post-graduate program aimed at developing the policy and management skills of high-potential employees in government and government-related sectors.

Applications are open to individuals in all Victorian NFP organisations, with a preference given to organisations that have displayed a particular commitment to building the capacity of the sector.

Applicants should demonstrate:

• Strong evidence of leadership potential
• Potential to contribute at the senior executive level as part of the next generation of NFP sector leaders
• Clearly and consistently above-average work performance
• Sound management capability
• Commitment and ability to contribute to learning and to learn from others
• Strong commitment to career development
• Capacity to complete a rigorous masters program (usually evidenced by successful completion of an undergraduate degree)
• In most cases, at least five years relevant work experience.

All applications will be assessed by a selection panel consisting of representatives from the Victorian Government and the NFP sector.
