(27 July 2012 – Australia) ANZ launched its new Regional Graduate Program this week, offering graduates from universities throughout Australia an 18 month position within the Regional Business Banking division.The Regional Graduate program is designed to develop the specialist skills required for a career in agribusiness and regional business banking.
The new Regional Graduate Program forms part of the broader ANZ Australian Graduate Program which provides accelerated development opportunities for the graduates through a structured rotational program.
Tania Motton, ANZ Head of Regional Business Banking said: “Due to the success of our former Agribusiness Traineeship Program we wanted to create a dedicated Regional Graduate Program so that graduates can gain experience in not just agribusiness but also in broader regional business banking.
“The Regional Graduate Program is about developing a pipeline of young talented employees to support our commercial and agribusiness customers across regional Australia.
“These graduates will be based in the regional communities they serve, so they will develop a deep understanding of our customers’ needs and the unique challenges they face, and the financial solutions that will assist them.
“ANZ is committed to supporting regional Australia and what better way to demonstrate that than by offering a structured program which develops future young leaders in agribusiness and regional business banking,” Motton said.
