GRADUATE PROGRAM OVERVIEW

18 months | 3 different teams | 6-month experiences

Our award-winning graduate program has been running for many years with huge success.  Graduates are hired as permanent employees, with the first 18-months spent on the graduate program experiencing three different teams across our business, known as ‘rotations’. In addition to three rotations, graduates progress through a structured learning and development plan, have access to senior leaders, and spend time with their graduate cohort forming meaningful and long-lasting connections. 

Our 2025 graduate program streams include: 

• Technology

TECHNOLOGY

Our Technology stream has been designed for aspiring developers with many different developer angles to explore. As a global organisation, we span a large technology landscape which means there are vast opportunities on offer for our graduates. These experiences could include digital developer, application developer, integration developer, and data developer. Additionally, we have numerous other avenues to explore within technology which include tech architecture, project management as well as technology risk management. As we are in an exciting time of modernising our business, there is no better moment to join us in our journey to become a future fit and modern insurer.

Your skill and career development are a key focus for the entire graduate program and beyond.  Some of the ways you will learn include:

• Experiencing our business from three different perspectives across your graduate rotations.
• Formal classroom style training, always with a practical application.
• Digital learning pathways designed for the graduate cohort and your program stream more specifically.
• Informal learning through cohort activities and initiatives.
• Unlimited access to digital learning content, many courses with official certifications.
• Your support network: graduate program lead, graduate buddy, rotation leaders, technical buddies, graduate networks (program stream and wider cohort).
