A graduate program is a recruitment program usually lasting a minimum of 1 year, and anywhere up to 3 years. On a graduate program, candidates will usually undertake a rotational program where they learn many different disciplines, i.e. they might work across sales, business operations, client services and marketing over the course of 18 months. Graduate programs can be helpful for career development, as they aim to develop future leaders and improve skill sets.
Across Australia, graduate programs are fairly common, and can often be a great stepping stone for graduates to get their foot in the door at a larger company.
Employers will often target final year students directly, but not always; they can often be found advertised on graduate jobs boards or recruitment websites. If you’re specifically looking for graduate programs in Australia, you can also ask a Recruitment Consultant.
As a graduate, you may seek graduate jobs or graduate programs; both of these are available, but competitive, in Australia.
There are some key differences between graduate jobs and graduate programs:
There are many places to look for graduate opportunities in Australia; on graduate job boards, recruitment websites, directly on employers websites, or through Recruitment Consultants, who may be able to seek out new positions for you.
Most graduate jobs in Australia do require you to have a degree. There are jobs across the country for graduates, however, you are more likely to be able to find a job in one of the bigger cities; so look out for graduate jobs in Melbourne, graduate jobs in Sydney, graduate jobs in Brisbane, and graduate jobs in Perth.
The first place to start is making sure that you know exactly what you want to do. Refining your job search is a good way to keep focused, so do some research on the type of company, and the specifics of the job roles you’re interested in applying for.
When you’re ready to apply for graduate jobs, start by making sure that your graduate CV is perfect; there is plenty of CV advice online to help you out.
Then, make sure you are organised throughout your job search; keeping a note of where you are in each application process.
Once you have landed a graduate job interview, make sure you have prepared all your answers to common interview questions; many graduates make the mistake of going in to interview unprepared.
