Why become a Coles Group Graduate?
At Coles, we understand that when you're included, trusted and supported by leaders who genuinely care, you can do your best work for the team feeling like you belong.
During the two‐year program, you'll be working on real deliverables with clear ownership and accountability as you learn and grow through functional rotations, a tailored development program and a tight‐knit support network.
In your second year, you will also complete the Innovation Project, where you will work with a team to solve a genuine business challenge with an innovative solution. The top teams will get the opportunity to present their ideas to our Executive Leadership Team and Coles Board.
