EY Melbourne co-operative program

What if we didn’t focus on who you are now, but who you could become? 

At EY, we value you for your unique perspective and potential. We bring together extraordinary people, like you, to build a better working world. We're offering you more than just a job - we're offering you the exceptional EY experience. After all, it's not just about where you're going; it's about how you'll grow to get there. 

What’s in it for you?   

During your co-operative year at EY, you'll get an early taste of professional life as you collaborate with EY clients, tap into our rich learning resources, and acquire hands-on experience. This program presents the opportunity to grow with us for six to twelve months prior to your final year at university. This isn't just a co-op, it's an opportunity to pave the way towards your potential, ensuring you leapfrog into graduation a stride ahead of your peers. Exhibiting exceptional performance could also earn you a full-time position upon graduation. 

If you’re passionate about a career in professional services, we encourage you to apply. We're interested in talented students from a range of disciplines to join our Melbourne – Financial Services Audit team.
