Educating managers, mentors and relevant stakeholders about the program structure and their responsibilities
Managing business commitment to the following year’s program, coordinating graduate selections and role offers
Facilitating the deployment of eligible graduates into permanent roles on successful completion of the 2-year program, depending on business requirements and availability of vacancies
Attending the program welcome event for Vacation Students and Graduates
Ensuring that graduates and managers adhere to the discipline plan and graduates are being set up for success
Keeping in regular contact with graduates between when offers are made and when they commence
Regularly meet with graduates throughout the first 12 months of the program to discuss settling into the position.
Feedback sessions at 6 monthly intervals with graduates and managers to discuss performance and experiences.

Line/Placement Managers

Managers play a critical role in the experience, well-being, and development of the graduate. Responsibilities include:

Ensuring that graduates are onboarded and set up to start work on day one of their placement
Supporting the graduate with current knowledge of the program structure
Assigning meaningful and challenging work that supports the graduate’s development and discipline-related activities
Setting performance and development goals and providing feedback, coaching and support to ensure the graduate is set up for success and remains on track with their performance
Supporting the graduate to complete their technical workshop/s and having regular discussions to check on their progress

Program Completion

At the end of the 2-year program, to be eligible to be deployed into a vacant permanent role, graduates must:

have met our performance and potential standards
have consistently exhibited behaviours and work ethic in line with business values and policies

While we strive to ensure a smooth transition and commit to actively seek a suitable role for you within the wider organisation, the actual availability of roles is contingent upon the evolving nature of our business and the specific business requirements at that point in time.
