Starting in February each year and spanning two years in duration, the Thales Graduate Program consists of a variety of learning modules in different locations nationally. These are structured training modules, as well as self-directed learning activities, and on-the-job training; giving you exposure to all the different areas of the business.
As part of the graduate development program, graduates will also have the opportunity to work in project teams and develop innovative solutions for business and customer related problems. The graduate program at Thales will see our graduates travel to various Thales Australia sites for the development modules.
Applications are now open for the 2024 Thales Graduate Program.
