GRADUATE PROGRAM CAREERS
In 2020, Standards Australia launched
its inaugural Graduate Program.
The program is an opportunity
for talented graduates to kickstart
their careers. For Standards Australia,
it’s also an opportunity to attract
talented individuals who are determined
to benefit Australians through their
work.
The program lasts for 12 months and
offers new professionals the chance
to rotate across several Standards
Australia departments. It allows
graduates to learn about the company’s
processes, procedures, activities,
and goals, while creating valuable
connections.
“As a company, we enjoy offering
younger people the opportunity to learn
‘on the tools’ at Standards Australia,”
Adrian says. “It is invigorating to see
recent graduates join our organisation,
and not only learn from us, but also to
offer incredible insights and ideas which
we have implemented.”
Both 2020 and 2021 graduate
cohorts have gone on to permanent
roles within the organisation, bringing
with them the knowledge and insights
they gained while rotating across the
business. The 2022 graduates kicked off
their program in February.
STANDARDS’ STEWARDS
These programs are just two of many
initiatives and projects Standards
Australia has created in its 100 years
to support those who contribute to
standards and those who use them too.
Having the best talent involved ensures
the best possible standards.
In 100 years, Standards Australia
has shaped Australia’s history and
contributed to the international
standards sector. Without the vital
input of all those involved, from
committee members, staff, Government
stakeholders to graduates, there would
be no Australian Standards.
“We are in a unique position as the
stewards of such a long and great
legacy and, as CEO, I am honoured
with this responsibility and take it very
seriously,” Adrian says.
