Earn While You Learn – Graduate Program 2024/25

‘Earn While You Learn’ is a graduate program that allows you to gain professional work experience and skills while earning money. 

Have you started planning for your career after graduation? Many graduates are unsure what sort of work they should be applying for. With no professional work experience, they sometimes find it challenging to secure an opportunity to transition into an office-based work environment.

That’s why we have introduced the ‘Earn While You Learn’ graduate program aimed at recent or ‘soon to be’ Brisbane-based graduates who would like to kickstart their careers and greatly enhance their resumes while being paid.

We are now accepting applications for Talent Scout roles  

As part of the ‘Earn While You Learn’ graduate program, we are hiring recent graduates to work as Talent Scouts. As a Talent Scout you will be supporting the agency with identifying suitable candidates for our clients. You will have access to multiple tools to help you with your search, including job platforms such as SEEK, Indeed and Adzuna, a LinkedIn Recruiter Licence, social media and our CRM database.

As this is an entry-level graduate role, you will receive extensive and on-going training, support and mentoring from our leadership team, among other benefits (see below). This position will suit graduates who are friendly and outgoing, and don’t mind being on the phone.   

Talent Scout – Job description

Talent Scouts find suitable talent for current and future job openings. They are responsible for:

• researching the job market;
