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 touchpoints with team leads and assigned mentors provide ongoing feedback, address challenges as they arise, and support 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.
