Technical Graduate Leadership Program

Technical 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’.

Our Technical Graduate Leadership Program takes place over 14-months and provides a unique opportunity for graduates to learn vital ‘on-the-job’ career skills and real-world experience. As many graduates will tell you, there’s nothing like ‘real-life’ experience to teach you what working is really like.

The program is split across two streams – Technology and Data Analytics. As part of this program, you will rotate through a variety of technical, data and project roles while gaining exposure to business strategy and operations. The final six weeks of this program allows graduates to use their skills in their study area of expertise.

The aim of this program is to provide you with a solid foundation and understanding of the technical infrastructure working with an integrated resort environment of hospitality and gaming.
