23708 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Defence: How many graduate positions, if any, were there in the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, as of 1 December 2024?

Hon Judith Collins: The Ministry of Defence does not have ‘graduate positions’, but has entry level Policy Analyst or Data Analyst roles that might be filled by university graduates. Eight such people were employed in this capacity at this date. For the NZDF, there were six civilian graduate positions as of 1 December 2024.
