Graduate Program

In the program, you’ll be offered unique opportunities to learn and excel in your career, engage with exceptional team members, build a network of colleagues (and friends!) and work with industry leaders across the state. It's a challenging and rewarding learning experience that attracts quality grads from across Tasmania, Australia and the world. The Graduate Program is a 3-year program commencing in early February each year. If you're achievement-oriented, enthusiastic about your development and committed, then their Graduate Program could be for you.

As part of the Graduate Program, TasNetworks Graduates engage with the community through the delivery of the STEAM Program. STEAM aims to encourage interest in the STEM disciplines and create opportunities and pathways for young Tasmanians. The program also provides graduates with the opportunity to engage with the local community, while further developing their leadership and communication skills.

Through the program, graduates deliver science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics-related design challenges to young Tasmanians through ongoing local school partnerships, community partnerships and public events. Some notable events that STEAM is involved in annually include AgFest, Kid I Am, and the Festival of Bright Ideas.

Each year, the graduate group aim to grow the program and community awareness of STEAM careers by furthering the program’s reach and developing innovative new activities. In 2020, the STEAM group is launching their Powerful Connections Mentoring Program to support and provide opportunities for College and University students interested in and studying STEM disciplines.

Work-life balance

TasNetworks is a small corporation and once people get a job there they tend to hang around. While you’ll enjoy good job security, be aware you could be waiting for a long time for positions to open up. Of course, there is always the option of getting the necessary training and experience at TasNetworks and then heading for the mainland in search of an employer offering swifter career progression.

Culture & vibe

TasNetworks is committed to recruiting those from “many parts of our community”. The corporation is at pains not to discriminate on the basis of gender, cultural or religious background, disability, age, sexual orientation or family responsibilities. It seeks to integrate diversity into its “training, policies and procedures” and “promote diversity in every part of our business”.
