Queensland's digital graduates take an ecosystem safari
Two Digital Graduate Program cohorts toured ARM Hub and UAP to see robotics and AI solving industry problems.
The Queensland Government's 2025 and 2026 Digital Graduate Program cohorts paid a visit to ARM Hub and UAP for their first-ever digital safari.
Regarded as one of the best graduate programs in Australia, the Digital Graduate Program offers recent graduates the opportunity to get a head start on their careers. Graduates help the government deliver public services while pursuing innovative digital and IT projects.
Led by ARM Hub's Executive Manager Allison Bambrick and Industry Programs Coordinator Lewie Wilson, the digital ecosystem safari went through each project, diving into South East Queensland's innovation ecosystem. Through the safari, graduates gained a first-hand look at how advanced robotics, AI and manufacturing are solving industry challenges.
It's encouraging to think about the connections these graduates may draw on as they take this experience into future government roles. I get a particular kick out of showing people around the projects and hearing what surprises or excites people who are experiencing our industrial precinct for the first time.

The work that happens at ARM Hub can be complex and varied, but it comes to life through collaboration across industry, research and government.
Seeing the massive-scale creative fabrication at UAP reminded us that innovation is as much about art and craftsmanship as it is about code.

The gap between research and commercialisation is actively being closed locally, and it was seriously inspiring to see.
