For South Australian organisations looking to inject new talent, energy and ideas into their business, The Alternative is ready to deliver.
Commencing in 2024, this innovative initiative offers local businesses an exclusive opportunity to tap into a pool of dynamic and talented graduates poised to make a significant impact on the professional landscape.
Backed by the Government of South Australia, businesses are now being invited to register their interest in being part of the first intake, planned to begin January 2025.
How It Works
The Alternative is a program designed to connect businesses with graduates through a seamless, low-risk process.
Graduates apply through The Alternative website to join the graduate pool, showcasing their skills, knowledge, and career aspirations to find their perfect fit.
Selected graduates are then matched with South Australian businesses for three six-month paid industry placements, providing exposure to a diverse range of roles, industries, and challenges to set them up for a successful career.
The program transforms how young professionals begin their careers by providing hands-on experience, professional development, networking opportunities, mentoring, and career coaching.
