Graduate and Intern Opportunities
We believe in challenging you.
At TAL, there’s no limit to where your career can go. We only take a small number of graduates and interns each year, so they’re highly sought-after right across TAL. Our Graduates and Interns work alongside industry thought-leaders with support from dedicated sponsors, buddies and career managers. It’s a program designed to help graduates and interns be the best they can be.
Graduate Program
The TAL graduate program has been designed to challenge graduates by immersing them in four key areas of our business, both within their field of study and beyond. This ensures they gain a strong understanding of how our business operates.
And we support our graduates. We listen to their goals and provide development pathways that will help them grow their skills even further, and get them where they want to go. This includes support for further related study and professional qualifications, where relevant, e.g., Actuarial Education Assistance, FSAA of the IAA and CA, plus study and exam leave.
We're proud TAL has been recognised for the investment we've made in our graduates with the Best Graduate Development Program award at the 2019 Australian Human Resources Awards.
There really is no limit to your career prospects through the TAL Graduate program. TAL has really invested in the program to equip you with the appropriate skills to become future leaders. There will be challenges and opportunities for each individual graduate. The accessibility of senior management is amazing.
Summer Intern Program
TAL’s Summer Intern Program has been designed to provide students with 10 weeks of experience working within a business unit relevant to their degree and career aspirations. The program’s emphasis is on on-the-job training with interns supporting projects within their business unit. The role is suitable for students in their penultimate year of study.
At the end of the Internship you will have the opportunity to apply and have your application fast tracked for our Graduate program commencing the following year.
If you're ready for the challenge, we're ready for you.
We’re looking for graduates and interns who:
- want a company that will believe in their goals as much as they do,
- have worked hard to get to where they are now – whether that’s through high Academic achievement or other exceptional achievements,

- haven’t just talked about leadership in their university, work experience or other activities – they’ve lived it,
