Graduate Program FAQ
What’s in it for me? What are the advantages of being selected for Amcor’s Graduate Program? How will it support my professional development and what will I learn during the process?
The complex world of business can be difficult to navigate: our Graduate Program enables you to learn about every layer of a multinational organisation – from shop floor to board room – and discover how to thrive in a complex matrix organisational structure. Not only are we keen to give you the opportunity to learn about our products and our business, but we also want you to see the Amcor brand from different vantage points – something made possible by the program’s three six-month rotations.
What are my chances to get selected?
We select around 10 graduates to join our EMEA program every year.
