Our National Graduate Program and Internship Placements provides opportunities to be based at 1 or more sites across our national business.

The Graduate Program features real on-the-job projects and/or operational work experience, professional development opportunities, mentoring support, direct lines to senior manager and supervisors to learn from and networking opportunities with your cohort. The commitment to the program will be up to 2 years, with a minimum commitment of 18 months, with the hope that our graduates turn into ongoing long term AKD team members and would suit individuals who are highly motivated, flexible, and keen to learn. AKD is committed to developing and supporting individuals throughout the program.

For internship placements, we partner with universities to work through the tenure of the placement in line with study commitments. Project duration usually is completed within a 3 to 6 month period.
