Your future. Our success. Let’s share it together.
Joining TAL as an Intern or Graduate
We look for interns and graduates who want to bring their passion and skills to a business that makes a real difference to the lives of Australians.
At TAL, there’s no limit to where your career can go. We only take a small number of interns and graduates each year, so they’re highly sought-after right across the business. Throughout our program you will work alongside industry thought-leaders with support from dedicated sponsors, buddies and career managers.

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.

TAL’s Graduate Program has encouraged and nurtured my career development, through access to industry leaders and the opportunity to collaborate on meaningful projects. Over the past year I've been part of a culture where I'm supported, challenged, and heard. That’s what sets TAL apart; everyone is given the chance to make a difference.
What attracted me to TAL's Graduate Program, above all else, was the positive vibes I got from the company culture and the interest the organisation has in developing graduates into future leaders. Given the small cohort, there are intimate development and support opportunities, including the flexibility to take up a role in a department outside of your core skill set.
