The Junior Associate Programme is designed to provide second-year undergraduates a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of financial services whilst you complete your degree. The skills, network and confidence you will gain from taking part in the programme will kick start your career, hopefully leading to a place on our Graduate Programme or another entry level analyst position across the Macquarie Group.
Commencing in September before you embark on your second year of university, you’ll join us for a week-long induction where you’ll take part in a range of orientation activities tailored to the business group you’ll be joining, as well as key skills training to set you up for success when you hit the desk. You’ll also meet the rest of your Junior Associate cohort and previous Junior Associate alumni through classroom-based learning and networking events to build the foundations of a strong support network at Macquarie.
After you have completed your induction, you’ll join your team for two days per week for the year. As a member of the team from day one, the majority of your learning will be on the job; taking on project work, key tasks, and activities to support the team and business direction. Learning from your team, buddy and mentors you’ll get a taste of what a full-time position will be like alongside a structured learning pathway to help you build the skills and confidence to succeed in your role, from Personal Brand to Presentation skills and many more. With regular feedback and career check ins, you’ll start to own your career at Macquarie with the support of your manager.
Subject to your performance and our business need, you may be offered an opportunity to continue the programme for a second year whilst you complete your final year of study. Like year one, you will continue to develop through on the job learning as a valuable member of the team. Your learning pathway will continue throughout the second year, with tailored development sessions designed to accelerate your learning and confidence. We’ll also discuss your career aspirations beyond the programme with you and support you in achieving them.
Throughout the two years, you’ll be invited to various networking sessions to continue to build your network across your cohort, the business and with senior leaders across Macquarie.
