The Graduate Program provides an effective launching pad for an exciting and challenging career in information technology. Monash is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and IT Services is actively pursuing programs designed to increase participation in employment for indigenous Australians, women and people with disabilities. Each graduate recruit will participate in four six-month placements in different sections of the Division, which may include Client Services, Systems Development, IT Facilities and IT Planning and management. These are chosen to provide a broad understanding of the Division's business and to give graduates the opportunity to explore future options. Placements encourage flexibility and adaptability and match individual professional interests.
Graduates are able to choose their final placement.
At the end of each placement, the graduate will have personal performance reviews to provide useful feedback. The Division also assigns each graduate to a senior manager to mentor them during the early stages of their career with the University. In the first year, graduates participate in courses on project management, customer service, effective presentations, report writing, negotiation skills and conflict resolution. Competitive salaries and generous superannuation are offered. Other starting dates may also be negotiated.
