In 2015, GradAustralia was officially launched and the first edition of Australia’s Top 100 Graduate Employers guide was published.
In this 2017 (3rd) Edition of the Top 100, we build on favourite features from previous editions and add new career advice, a wider range of job opportunities, and exclusive insider content to help students navigate the job market. It covers the current graduate job market, from Google to Glencore, and insights into how to get hired and what to expect on the job. This information has been drawn from a range of key resources, including current research and direct consultation with employers and graduates. It’s your one-stop resource to find the perfect job opportunity.
GradAustralia’s Top 100 lists the most sought-after graduate employers in Australia, as ranked by university students across the country. The results were compiled from an independent survey, with more than 14,000 votes cast by university students from 38 higher education institutions – 53 percent were in their final year of study, 23 per cent in their penultimate year and 24 per cent in their first year or second year. Bachelor degree students made up 61 per cent of respondents, with the remaining 39 per cent expecting to graduate with a masters, doctoral or other postgraduate qualification. All students were asked a series of questions to establish the main factors that drive their career decisions and choice of favourite employer.
