Meet the Sydney Pitcher Partners Team

Event Date
ICAA Cadetship Evening 23 May 2012

Graduate Program
The graduate program at Pitcher Partners is all about choice – as a graduate you will initially be designated to a team based on your preference at the initial interview stage. However, we may encourage you to develop your general as well as your specialist skills, and arrange rotations to occur between service lines so you can appropriately decide which team is best suited to you.

Your introduction to Pitcher Partners as a Graduate starts with a comprehensive induction program including four days on the Gold Coast, attending our National Graduate Training Program.

Applications for our graduate program open around March each year and close around April. All our graduates begin around March after the successful completion of their degree.

Thank you to everyone who applied for our 2013 Graduate Program.

As offers have now been made and accepted by successful candidates, our Graduate recruitment is now closed.

Undergraduate Program (Cadets)
Our undergraduate program is designed for students who have a keen desire to gain practical experience whilst completing their University degree. The undergraduate program begins in March each year and coincides with the graduate intake. Our undergraduates are given the same opportunities and training and development experiences as our graduates. Most undergraduates will work with Pitcher Partners on a full time basis, however, will receive a half day per week to attend university. We are also flexible in offering part-time work arrangements.

In addition to securing a full-time job before graduating, the benefits of joining our undergraduate program are often realised when students return to university to continue their final year of studies and notice they have a practical edge over their fellow class-mates.

Pitcher Partners will be attending the ICAA Cadetship Evening on Wednesday 23rd May. Please drop by and speak with staff and HR from the PP team about opportunities available and what it's like to work as a cadet.

Applications for our 2013 program will open in May 2012.

Summer Vacation Program
The summer vacation program at Pitcher Partners is another popular student program. Summer vacationers are offered 4-6 weeks of work-experience over the university summer holidays. This program provides students with a wide variety of experiences, including the opportunity to visit a client, undertake practical work with more senior staff members, learn how to use key software packages, work in a corporate team and gain experience with time management and other professional skills as well as be actively involved in a number of social events.

Applications for our 2012 program will open in June 2012.
