Hōtaka Whakawhanake Hunga Whaitohu | Graduate Development Programme

Our graduate development programme has been developed for graduates in all service lines, and is focused on connection and learning.

The programme will provide you with the opportunity to network with your peers from other service lines and geographies. Running in parallel to your technical learning, you will develop business and leadership skills to become a successful graduate, and as you grow as a transformative leader.

We provide the experiences, learning and resources. You create the journey.
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 organisation, set your goals and plan your development. You'll be well looked after with ongoing learning and 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 nationally or overseas.

You can apply to join the Graduate Programme when you're in the final year of your degree or within 24 months from your graduation date at the time of application.

You need to be a New Zealand or Australian citizen, a New Zealand or Australian permanent resident, or an international student who meets our criteria below.

E hiahia ana ki te karo i te mano o ngā tauira kē atu i tō tau whakamutunga me te whakahaumaru moata nei hoki i tō tūranga. Kia pia koe kia whakaihu waka ai koe i ō hoa.

Want to avoid competing with thousands of other students in your final year and secure a graduate position early on? Become an Intern and put yourself well ahead of your peers.

You want an internship that’s more than a line on a resume. You want an experience, a challenge and a launchpad for lifelong relationships and career growth. You can find that here.

Throughout the programme, you’ll hit the ground running with dedicated on-the-job training, coaching and technology onboarding. You’ll work alongside EY professionals on real clients – right now. You’ll get the opportunity to be immersed in EY culture, network with EY people, and experience the transformative work done for EY clients. Plus, the best bit is, if you impress us we’ll offer you a permanent position after you graduate.
Preparation

You'll need some basic skills to be successful in your Internship Programme, so you'll undertake induction. We'll equip you with the essentials and help you rapidly develop your capabilities through a series of exercises – including talks and team-building sessions. You'll then be ready for business, handling tasks similar to those we give to our first-year graduates.

Teaming

As part of a team, you'll benefit from the knowledge and experience of established professionals. You'll also gain exposure to a variety of clients and industry sectors. This will give you an insight into the business and a good understanding of life at EY.

Meeting leadership

As well as client work, you'll have the opportunity to meet and perhaps shadow one of our senior team members. This will give you an idea of where your ambitions can take you. We're looking to recruit future leaders through our Intern Programme, so this is an opportunity to show us what you're made of.

Feedback

You want your Internship Programme to be a valuable and challenging experience. So do we, which is why we appoint a counsellor to provide regular feedback and guidance. Your counsellor will be your main point of contact during your time with us and will be responsible for helping you develop professionally and personally.

Relationships

You'll make plenty of contacts and connections during your Internship Programme. To help cement these relationships, we recommend you get involved in the many opportunities and events on offer. You might also choose to become an ambassador for EY upon your return to university
