AUSTRALIAN EMPLOYERS HAVE STARTED ADVERTISING FOR GRADUATE PROGRAMS WITH WORK STARTING IN 2014 AND IF YOU ARE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WITH RIGHT TO WORK YOU HAVE CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS 18TH OCTOBER 2013 Employers in the Australian resources industry have begun to advertise for graduate programmes with work starting in 2014. Many international students have the chance to take part in the recruitment process if they have the right to work after graduation in Australia and now is the time to start answering job advertisements for these positions. Graduate programmes in Australia are entry level jobs for people who have completed a professional qualification at university. These jobs are aimed at a variety of occupations including engineers, geologists, metallurgists, surveyors, occupational health and sciences, environmental officers, accountants and project control. They last from two to four years and include on the job training and mentoring. At the end of a graduate programme participants are normally considered to possess the skills needed to work independently in their chosen profession. According to industry experts it can be very difficult to find a job if you haven’t undertaken a graduate programme. These programmes are designed to manage the intake of inexperienced people in a controlled way so mining operations and oil and gas companies can continue their production schedules with minimal interruptions. One way to find a graduate programme is to go to the Find a Job section of the Mining Oil and Gas Jobs website. All the opportunities are listed on the Graduate Entry box. Some of the advertisements are for specific occupations but others cover multiple occupations. Some of these opportunities begin to close as early as the end of March so make sure you don’t delay,’ said a spokesman for the Australia Mines and Metals Association.
