The training in a graduate program will vary depending on the employer and the field of specialty. Some graduate programs will be quite specific in their training, focussing on a particular role within an organisation, where others will be quite broad and expose you to a range of operational areas.
Organisations are usually looking to fill their graduate programs with top-level candidates, as most will place a strong emphasis on developing future leaders of their business. The training you receive should be well structured, industry-specific, and include plenty of one-on-one mentoring.
You should even find you have access to executive staff and their knowledge, as well as the opportunity to network with internal and external stakeholders which is almost invaluable. Best of all, your program is likely to include professional development opportunities not available to non-grad staff. You will be given the same responsibilities and opportunities to showcase your work as other full-time staff members — maybe even more if you are training for management positions.
While there is no set amount of time that a graduate program runs for, most will be between one and three years. Programs offering rotations through the business will typically provide graduates with six-month stints working in different areas of the organisation. It is structured but also flexible so you can go through the program at your own pace. When deciding if a graduate program is right for you, make sure the expected timeframe suits your needs.
