This year will see some significant changes to both the Graduate and Internship programs at ANZ. The Internship Program will give successful applicants the choice to complete their internship mid-year or at the end of 2016. This will mean that both programs will open for applications in February 2016. The application period for both programs will begin on February 24th and will finish four weeks later (20th March). Applications can be made on-line at http://www.anz.com.au/about-us/careers/graduate-intern-program/.

Those 2016 interns who demonstrate their suitability during their internship may then be provided with an early offer for ANZ”s Graduate Program in 2018. This will mean that there will be no further calls for applicants to the ANZ Graduate Program after this year as the Internship Program will feed the Graduate program from 2018 onwards. Hence it is even more important for eligible students to apply for the Internship Program if they have an interest in joining ANZ’s Graduate program.

In 2015, ANZ received over 60 applications for 2016 Graduate Program and another 39 applications for our 2015 Summer Internship Program from candidates with a disability. Of those applicants, five are now working with ANZ and another three have recently completed their Summer Internship.

Another six students with disabilities were recruited in to the Bank through specialist Abilities Internships within the Finance business. All these placements were sourced initially from the Graduate and Summer Internship applicant pool for students with a disability.

ANZ understand that students will not always share information on their disability.This is a personal choice and ANZ respects that, however sharing information on your disability can be an advantage. Every student who shares with ANZ that they have a disability in their application will be contacted and offered help with the selection process and can hopefully achieve better outcomes.  ANZ aim to create opportunities for and a work environment where Abilities Program candidates are empowered and successful.
