Career Prospects at Victoria's Big Build

Generally up to the grad to progress career and find employment after the grad program.

To be honest I haven't given it too much thought just yet, but the pathways are there. A lot of managers I've come across began as graduates in other government bodies or even this company itself. To move up, you want to demonstrate an interest to learn, have strong initiative in all you do and a proven track record of results. For the bigger jumps, you also undertake professional development courses offered by the company.

Graduate program lasts too long.

No progression past grad program

After your grad program, at my project you are able to apply for other positions.

Good opportunities to work on different projects

I don't feel as if there is any ceiling to my career progression.

The graduate program gives us an opportunity to rotate to external companies and be employed by them

There is a fairly clear path to progressing your career at MTIA in my project team. After the Grad program, if you perform well, it is likely that you will be offered an advisor role. There will likely be opportunities to move to other roles in the public sector, or even the private sector with the experience gained from the program.

My project doesn't keep many grads on but HR has found me an external rotation which will likely lead to permanent employment.

No possibility for career progression in our section of the VBB program (depends on where you go). The idea at my project, is that you move to an external final rotation, which works well for the engineers.

At my project it is expected that you will be seconded out to a private company after the grad program, but most people prefer this as they can experience both private and client side of projects. HR organise the secondments for us and they are wide in scope which is great.

Despite being a 2 year program, prospects for promotion may come up within 18 months

There is the possibility for a formal position offer at the end of the graduate program.

The graduate program here encourages us to rotate so we can ensure we can explore different areas to find out where we'd like to be the most. Will find out more over the coming months on how to "move up the ranks".

There is lots of opportunity to move around within the project, provided that you are motivated to pursue it.

Based on you achieving the goals listed in your PDP ( Personal development plan)

I feel good about the chances to seek promotions when I am ready for them. I am in no rush to progress quickly though.

Each year you set objectives to achieve alongside your manager. If these objectives are achieved you will be promoted accordingly

A lot of possibilities and hard work with continuous learning may move you up the ranks.
