Graduate Program null

Our two year program is designed to equip graduates with the confidence, tools and foundational skills essential to succeed in their careers. Through gradual exposure to our day-to-day business activities, our structured six monthly rotations will see graduates learning about different parts of the Company, as well as designing, recommending and implementing improvement projects. 

McColl's graduates will progress through each of our four operating units:

• Fleet, which manages vehicles and equipment;
• Farm Pickup, which manages the specialised task of milk collection from dairy farms;
• Bulk Food, which transports ingredients for our industrial food customers; and
• Bulk Chemicals, which services our customers in manufacturing industries.

Each graduate has an experienced mentor in their current division to guide their learning and experience.  Part of the rotation is some on-the-ground work experience in each division, spending time with drivers, customers, mechanics or suppliers.

As a McColl's Graduate, your journey concentrates on learning and practicing more general business skills:

• Office and professional etiquette/norms
• Excel, Powerpoint and report writing skills
• Process mapping
• Project planning
• Data preparation and analysis
• Data handling tools
• Presentation skills
• Career planning
• Ad-hoc project work for other support divisions (HR, Safety, Finance, IT etc.)

This element of the program helps our graduates to be confident in professional environments, interacting with a wider group of people inside and outside the organisation. It also helps graduates to learn to process unstructured information, draw meaning from it and present their findings in a structured, persuasive way.
