Hospitality Graduate Leadership Program

Hospitality Graduate Leadership Program

We are seeking future leaders to join our expanding graduate program. We welcome them to build upon their knowledge and encourage them to develop their skills, strengths and capability and support The Star Entertainment Group in becoming ‘Australia’s Leading Integrated Resort Company’.

The Star Hospitality Graduate Leadership Program is a 14-month program that enables graduates to rotate through our business, gaining exposure to operational and corporate divisions. As many graduates will tell you, there’s nothing like ‘real-life’ experience to teach you what working is really like.

The final three months of this program allow graduates to use their skills in their study area of expertise or area of choice.

Eligibility to apply

The Hospitality Graduate Program encourages graduates who have an Advanced Diploma (or higher qualification) and have completed their hospitality studies (or a related discipline) in the last two years to apply.

You must be passionate about the hospitality industry and envision yourself becoming a leader within the Food & Beverage or Hotel Industry.

Due to the duration of the program and potential permanent employment only Australian permanent residents or citizens are eligible to apply.

Recruitment process

Interested graduates are welcome to submit their updated resume and academic transcripts via our Star Careers website. 

Graduate applicants who have had their resumes shortlisted by The Star’s Talent Acquisition team will be sent an invitation to complete an online video interview. 

Once you have submitted your online video interview, the Talent Acquisition team with the support of key leaders, will conduct an interactive group assessment.

Successful graduate applicants will then progress to final interviews, which will be conducted face to face at one of our Star properties based in Sydney, Gold Coast and Brisbane.

For successful graduates, placements based in Sydney, Gold Coast and Brisbane will begin 30^th January 2023.
