The Career Path of an Administrative Officer
 The Public Service Division aims to develop AOs to have a sound grasp of the complexities of government. Taking into account your interests and Civil Service needs, you may be posted to jobs in areas dealing with economic, social, security and government administration.
AOs are appointed on probation for up to two years. During this time, you will participate in training programmes, and receive guidance from an experienced supervisor. You will get to be part of project teams where you can recommend policies and have the opportunity to present your findings to the Committee of Permanent Secretaries or at various policy forums.
An officer can be considered for confirmation at the end of 1 year.
