The Academy forms the foundation for any grad looking to land their first job. Our Three-Pillar Program covers physical artefacts like CV and cover letter through to advice on the job search itself, including interview training. We also regularly share our knowledge and experience of professional life through Insights and our weekly newsletter.
We know exactly what it's like to be out of university, degree in hand, but at a loss for what to do next. We'll pair you with a mentor who has been exactly where you are just a few years ago who will provide invaluable advice and guidance.
We regularly run Open Days that put you in front of hiring managers and other team members from our Partner Companies. These sessions allow you to learn more about work and life at these companies, and give you direct access to the decision makers. Our biannual Career Fair brings together 30+ of these partners with 10 talks held over the course of the day.
Our jobs board provides direct access to the hiring managers from our Company Partners – applying through our platform offers you significantly better visibility than other job sites. And you can get to know our Partners better through the Discover Employers page.
