Frequently Asked Questions

You will likely be asked to map a process (flowcharting) or draft a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) based on a specific departmental scenario, such as a recruitment process or a service delivery incident.
The goal is to eliminate administrative bottlenecks within the Department of Education. You will be looking at how things like teacher appointments or school funding are currently handled and redesigning those workflows to be faster and more compliant.
While listed under HR Systems, the focus is on 'Business Processes' rather than coding. However, functional computer literacy and an understanding of how automated workflows (like PERSAL or e-systems) integrate with manual processes are highly beneficial.
