NextGen Graduate Program: Building Careers in Technology

NextGen’s graduate program offers a structured entry point into technology careers. With three decades of industry experience behind us, we’ve designed a program that balances practical skill development with meaningful work from the outset.

A Considered Approach to Development

Our program integrates learning with real contribution. You’ll work on live projects while building the technical and professional capabilities needed for long-term success working alongside and learning from senior/experienced colleagues. The program includes:

• Flexible learning modules: Self-paced digital content covering core technical concepts, tools and ways of working.
• Hands-on experience: Direct involvement in team projects and product development from early in your tenure.
• Collaborative support: Regular mentoring, peer learning sessions, and connection with fellow graduates.

Comprehensive Technical and Professional Training

The curriculum combines foundational knowledge with role-specific development:

• Technical fundamentals: Company systems, security protocols, agile methodologies and development practices.
• Team-specific training: Tailored content reflecting the particular technologies and workflows of your team.
• Professional capabilities: Stakeholder engagement, analytical problem-solving and leadership foundations.

You’ll also gain exposure to cross-functional work, collaborating with business analysts, product managers and technical specialists to understand how individual contributions connect to broader outcomes.

Structured Guidance Throughout

Regular touch-points with team leads and assigned mentors provide ongoing feedback, address challenges as they arise and provide support for your progression within the organisation.

NextGen’s graduate program provides a practical foundation for building a sustained career in technology, with many of our senior technical positions now held by those who joined originally as graduates. It’s a chance to find a home for your career.
