Current Graduates

Brenton, Natasha, Kareem:  Retail Leaders Graduate 

 Lisa:  Human Resources Graduate

“The size of Coles is one of the things that attracted me to the Graduate Program and the potential opportunities that came along with that. The Coles Graduate Program has a great reputation and I knew it would be really exciting to be apart of the largest global retail turnaround”.

 Liang:  Merchandise Graduate

“What I love about the job is that I get to work with people internally and externally. The great thing is, that I’m not always stuck at a desk in front of a computer. I get to be outside, interacting with team members at stores”.

 Hugo:  Procurement Services Graduate

“I worked at Kmart for seven years part time throughout my school and university days and then I moved into 1st Choice, so I got a real grass roots look at the place and a real appreciation of the retail industry before I started the Coles Graduate Program”.
