Career Program

We operate a graduate program whereby recent graduates start in operational areas where they are exposed to all facets of the business before being given areas of responsibility. Within the business we presently have over 80 graduates. They play an important role in the evolution of our business as they bring new ideas and challenge existing concepts.

The one thing we will not do is baby-sit our grads or hand your career to them on a platter. You are expected to prove yourself and will only be promoted on ability, not merely for the fact that you are a graduate.

You will start in an entry level position but we have found that this is the only way in which to impart all the necessary knowledge. Building your career from the ground up gains you the respect of your team mates which becomes invaluable when you are managing people.

Within the United States most of our graduates will start in either Los Angeles, Chicago, Metro New York or Atlanta but there are also positions available in smaller stations.

Overseas postings are available to our top graduates and with branches throughout New Zealand, Australia, Asia and the USA our graduates can operate on a global level.
