Every step of the two year Graduate Development Program focuses on introducing you to our business and providing a smooth transition into a successful career with Qantas.
As a Qantas Graduate you will be formally supported through activities such as structured development days, on-the-job coaching, a continuous mentoring program and monthly development sessions with your graduate network.
Induction
Before you commence our unique development program you will be invited to attend a professional networking and learning function with your fellow colleagues. To support your transition onto the program you will be partnered with a buddy, a Graduate from the previous year, and you will also meet your Stream Manager who will guide you throughout your rotation.
As a Graduate of Qantas you will participate in a Graduate Induction Program including a behind the scenes tour of our Sydney Domestic Terminal, Q Catering Centre, Jetbase and Centre of Service Excellence. The tours include presentations from our senior leadership team, interactive activities, skills workshops and the opportunity to connect with the Graduate Alumni.
