Graduate Program
You’re ambitious. You’ve studied hard and you want to put your knowledge and skills to the test. If you’ve recently graduated, or are about to, our Graduate Program is that opportunity. With early responsibility and the support and training to grow, you’ll build the confidence to pursue your goals. Exposed to a wide range of clients, you can expect to develop your networks, collaborate with specialists, learn from mentors and even study for postgraduate qualifications, including the Chartered Accountant qualification or a Masters of Tax. As a graduate with Ernst & Young you’ll be able to add value to your clients and shape your career as a professional.
You'll begin to build your technical, leadership and communication skills, and be responsible for parts of projects right away, working in a business area of your choice.
At our graduate induction you'll meet other new graduates from your office. Your buddy and your counsellor will help you learn your way around the firm, set your goals and plan your development. You'll be well paid and have the chance to enjoy some excellent benefits, including the opportunity to apply for three months leave after you've been with us for 18 months. You might also find yourself working interstate or overseas.
Our Assurance and Advisory Sydney practice also offers you the chance to join via the Graduate Challenge Program.
Meet Graduate Karishma Dutta from Assurance in Adelaide, who's inspired by "the career path that's laid out for me at Ernst & Young."
