Graduate Recruitment Programs
The Public Service and many private companies offer Graduate Recruitment Programs. These generally have a lengthy recruitment process, which can involve psychometric testing, behavioural style interviews or assessment centres. Graduates accepted into these programs anticipate that they will benefit from ongoing skills development ,and are often supported by mentoring, coaching, leadership development, training and work rotations throughout the organisation.
Suggested ideas for promoting your Graduate Recruitment Program:
- Place a job ad on the Your Careers Centre database (access through the Employer Login)
- Attend Careers Fair
- Organise postering on campuses at the open or close of the recruitment period
- Send a targeted mailout to students graduating from the degrees that you are interested in
- Host an Employer Information Session to meet prospective recruits and talk about the available opportunities with your company

These positions seek a fresh graduate or someone with a combination of degree(s) and work experience (industry-related or other). As the Your Careers Centre database is accessible to both current students and to recent graduates, you could find your ideal candidate through the University of Sydney Careers Centre.
