AMP Graduate Program

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Biomedical/Bachelor of Science (Medical Science) from University of Sydney

One of the main draw cards for the AMP graduate program was the opportunity to rotate into different roles around the business. Technology is such a broad field and coming straight out of uni, it can be hard to know exactly what you want to do. Since joining AMP, I have learnt so much about the corporate world, the business itself and the financial services industry in general.

Since joining AMP, I have had so many amazing opportunities that really confirm I made the right decision joining this program. The support we receive for professional development is unparalleled and motivates me to constantly challenge myself and seek opportunities to step out of my comfort zone.  Finally, the people here create a nurturing and supportive culture unlike any other, you truly feel like a valued employee.

I chose the AMP Graduate Program because I recognised the value in the rotational style of the program. The ability to explore a variety of business areas whilst developing a diverse range of skills is paramount to someone out of university into the corporate workforce and the support within the graduate program and larger business as a whole is both consistent and always constructive. Thus far in the graduate program I've been able to participate in Senior leadership forums, team building activates both within the graduate program and with my rotational teams and have had the privilege of giving back to the community through several programs run through the AMP charitable Foundation all of which have been pivotal experiences in my early career development. 

Being a part of AMP as a graduate you really feel like you’re part of something bigger, whilst also always getting the critical support that the amazing culture of AMP provides.

The AMP Financial Services graduate program offers a wide variety of rotational opportunities to really set one up with broad understanding of the business and value chain whilst enabling you to engage in hands-on tasks. The diversity of the rotations really allowed me to draw from both my Finance and Psychology background and encourage my professional development. The warmth and support I've received from everybody at AMP provide a seamless transition from studying to fulltime work. I found the program to be well developed and focused on building each graduate up with a strong support network through establishing meaningful relationship with other graduates, rotation managers and supervisors. Furthermore, I have been able to collaborate with many others who are willing to share their knowledge and experience, giving me the opportunity to develop my own skillset across different projects and initiatives.

The AMP technology graduate program offers amazing opportunities to set me up as a graduate who isn't too sure of their exact career direction. The program's rotations really stand out to me due to the incredible variety they offer. From financial crime to app development to test automation, there are so many career paths available. Each rotation presents a fresh set of challenges and exposes graduates to different areas of technology, ensuring continuous growth and development.

Secondly, the level of support within the program is exceptional. From the graduate champs and buddies to the approachable managers, there is a strong support system in place without the feeling of micromanaging. Moreover, the frequent networking events ensure that I am always connected and never left behind.

Most importantly, the program has given me the opportunity to take ownership of projects and truly make an impact within the company. Being entrusted with responsibilities and witnessing my contributions shape the organization gives me a sense of fulfillment and motivates me to keep going and challenge myself at AMP

In a nutshell, my experience at AMP in the Financial Services stream has been awesome. I was attracted to this stream due to its broad rotation offering, which enables one to travel across the value chain and gain a diverse understanding across AMPA and the broader financial system. To this end, I have found that everyone I have met has been incredibly willing to share knowledge and to offer opportunities to contribute on a broad range of projects. I continually have the chance to learn how the different business areas fit together in terms of operations and value to our clients and broader society. Most importantly for me, I have had opportunity right from the start to own my role, hold a stake in the projects I contribute to, and tangibly increase both my technical and soft skill set. The people I work with, the learning opportunities, and the actual work itself, have made my time at AMP an illuminating experience so far.

I chose AMP’s Graduate Program because I recognised the need to rotate and explore multiple business areas and functions and get a sense of the diversity in teams across this prestigious financial services institution. Some of these areas include Group Planning and Performance, Internal Audit and Statutory reporting, alongside electives to your own liking. Graduating out of University, it can be daunting putting your finger on a single area to specialise in considering the broad financial service environment, and choosing this program allows me to personalise my path to my dream career. There is an ongoing investment in the graduates and this is something that has motivated me to allow myself to exit my comfort zone and accrue professional and personal development.

My experience in the AMP Graduate program has been nothing short of exceptional. Apart from working for a prestigious long standing financial institution, there is a real focus on professional development and the networking opportunities are second to none.

In my current stream I have the constant opportunity to work on impactful and meaningful projects, continuously upgrade my hard and soft skillsets as well as see how the business as a whole works. While daunting at first the high performing, caring and helpful staff in the business really have helped me learn extremely fast, fit in and clarify my career going forward.

The rotation-based nature and offerings of the Graduate program really allows me to expand my professional toolset, push beyond my comfort zone and learn things that I never saw myself learning prior to joining.

I selected the AMP graduate program as it would allow me the opportunity to rotate and discover different areas and teams within the Technology stream.

The program also has a strong focus on personal and professional development which has motivated me to challenge myself continually. The rotations have not only provided me with insight into how different areas of the business operate but also the opportunity to work alongside individuals who are encouraging and supportive every step of the way.

Bachelor of Marketing and Media from Macquarie University

Current role: Sustainability Analyst

When I graduated from university, I didn’t want to pigeon hole myself in any particular role. The rotations in the Graduate Program at AMP let me test out different parts of the business that I was interested in until I was confident that I knew where I wanted to work more permanently. At first, I was interested in the flexibility that offered, later I realised that the experience in different rotations also gives you a unique understanding of the business and how that fits together. This is extremely valuable moving into any permanent role, and the network you build up along the way makes that a smoother process.

Bachelor of Commerce-International Business and Decision Science from Macquarie University

Current role: Data Analyst

Prior to joining AMP, I was looking for an opportunity which would allow me to explore my interests in Technology because I wasn’t sure which area of Tech I’d like to pursue. Since joining the program, I have been able to do that, and more.

The program has since offered a wide range of rotations across multiple areas of the business including in Digital, Cyber Security, Data, Cloud, and Automation. This has enabled me to gain exposure to diverse programs of work where I have been able to take ownership and really contribute in a meaningful way.

Bachelor of Mathematics (Advanced) majoring in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Sydney

Current role: Threat Intel Specialist

Starting in the AMP graduate program, I was given a lot of opportunity to move around different technology teams and see how different parts of the business operate. I was able to own pieces of my own work end to end and see real results. When I started at AMP, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do longer term, but the graduate program was integral in helping me work that out. I rotated into the Cyber Security team in my last rotation and have been there ever since. I’ve been able to progress and been given opportunities to grow and improve constantly. Without the graduate program, I don’t think I would’ve found a career that I’m so passionate about, in cyber.

Bachelor of Information Technology from RMIT

I have a strong interest in technology but was not sure which area I could fit in the most after graduating from university. Hence, I chose the AMP grad program which offered rotation opportunities to explore different specialisations within the technology function to help me choose my career path. Since joining the program, I have been able to do that and more.

I started as a Graduate Business Analyst and was given the opportunity work with a few areas which has helped me develop both technical skills as well as the soft skills required in a workplace. AMP have since offered me various opportunities to move up, and across various management roles that have made my experience interesting and rewarding.

These days I’m acting as a Grad Champion to help fresh grads settle into the AMP grad program and provide advice to assist them achieving their career goals.
