Cadetship Recruitment
A traineeship at Grant Thornton offers you the opportunity to gain practical experience whilst studying your degree at university. We develop our trainees to have business acumen, personal skills as well as a structured career path.

We seek students in Year 12 who expect to successfully complete their secondary studies before undertaking a relevant business focused degree with an accounting major. We look for students with a strong academic record, developed interpersonal skills, wide outside interests and ideally some relevant work experience.

Most states offer their trainees the option of accelerating their degree. You work full-time with the firm and study part-time for the first year. For the subsequent two years, you study full-time in the first semester of each year and work full-time and study part-time for the remainder of the year. You receive financial assistance whilst studying full-time to assist in covering the costs of your study and alleviate the need for a part-time job.

Co-operative Recruitment
Our Co-operative Program allows you to put your academic learning into practice by getting involved in real work and experiencing working with real clients. During the program you will develop the capabilities to enable you to perform in a professional organisation. The work we provide you with is meaningful and realistic and the opportunities for client and partner contact will provide you with valuable experience that puts you one step ahead of your peers.

Our Co-operative Program is offered in the Melbourne office for students currently undertaking the Bachelor of Business (Professional Accountancy) at RMIT University.
