Melbourne Assessment Days – update

by Berleena

ProGrad have seen a huge spike in graduate positions in Sydney over recent months, however Melbourne has only constitued approximately 20% of the roles available to us.

With this in mind, ProGrad will be running more Melbourne assessment days in early 2010 and we will keep you posted of those dates as they become available.  We are still working heavily in the Victoria region to find more graduate opportunities for you and will keep you updated.

If you’re a Melbourne candidate and would like to speak to someone at ProGrad about our opportunities, please contact us on 02 8235 8300.  Alternatively, we can be emailed at info@prograd.com.au

ProGrad assist with the Nestle Assessment Day

by Berleena

Last week, ProGrad were proud to work alongside Nestle with the selection of the Graduate intake for 2010. 

Nestle had invited a strong selection of 40 candidates from across the country to battle it out at the Nestle Assessment Day, held in Sydney.  With only a few Graduate positons up for grabs, it truly was an intense afternoon.

Nestle offer a wonderful career opportunity for any recent University graduate looking to embark on their professional sales or marketing career.  This two year rotational program is designed to produce some excellent talent for the business and generate the future business leaders.

Nestle opened the assessment day with a panel of key executives who presented to the graduates.  They outlined their own history within the company and explained some of the benefits of joining an organisation like Nestle.

Once this had been positioned, we then led into a self introduction session which was then followed by group dynamic exercises.  Each group completed two intense exercises within a limited time frame, and then provided feedback to the facilitator about how they reached their answers.

Nestle had put togther a challenging, yet insightful case study which each group had to complete. This was made more challenging by the panel presentations which took place in tandem.

All in all, the afternoon was challenging and 12 graduates have consquently made it to the final selection of their graduate intake.  It was a great afternoon and we’re grateful to all graduates who attended. 

Working with organisations to develop their graduate asessment tool has become a regular offering for ProGrad and one that we genuinely enjoy conducting.  If you’d like to discuss the offering in more detail, please contact one of the ProGrad team on 02 8235 8300
