Hi Jordyn, we offer a 2 year graduate program, 3 year for mining engineers. We fill this program via our vacation students. We also have some casual opportunities for students through out the year.

Is a graduate position guaranteed if I complete the vacation program? I am graduating at the end of this year.

04 April, 2024 02:05

Madeline L. Officer ‑ Talent (Strategic Sourcing And Emerging Talent)

Hi Jordyn, no its not guaranteed, it is based on performance during the vacation program.

04 April, 2024 02:07

Hi Madeline, thank you for the answer, following up on that, are there any ways performance/success is measured during the program?

04 April, 2024 02:07

I'm form the mechanical engineering discipline

04 April, 2024 02:08

How is performance for the metallurgy stream determined as well?

04 April, 2024 02:09

Madeline L. Officer ‑ Talent (Strategic Sourcing And Emerging Talent)

Hi Hari & Jordyn, you are assessed by your host supervisor on site on various technical performance and team fit.

04 April, 2024 02:10

What percentage of vacation students become graduates?

04 April, 2024 02:11

Thank you for that Madeline.

04 April, 2024 02:11

Hi Madeline,

Could you please let me know how many mining vacation positions IGO has? Thank you.

Madeline L. Officer ‑ Talent (Strategic Sourcing And Emerging Talent)

Hi Jordyn, this varies year to year, based on business needs and students performance

04 April, 2024 02:12

Madeline L. Officer ‑ Talent (Strategic Sourcing And Emerging Talent)

Hi Saikiran, for mining engineering?

04 April, 2024 02:13

Yes for Mining Engineering

04 April, 2024 02:14

Madeline L. Officer ‑ Talent (Strategic Sourcing And Emerging Talent)

We will be taking 3-4 this year.

04 April, 2024 02:16

I will be graduating this year in July. Are there any graduate opportunities available for students like me? Thanks

04 April, 2024 02:19

Madeline L. Officer ‑ Talent (Strategic Sourcing And Emerging Talent)

Hi Saikiran, we are not advertising for graduate roles a we fill them via our vacation program.

04 April, 2024 02:21

Hi Madeline, Kelsie mentioned that the 2025 graduate positions are already filled in another chat. So would the graduate positions start over a year after the vacation program has been done?

04 April, 2024 02:23

To add on to Jordyn's question, do you only select applicants for the graduate program that have done the vacation program?

04 April, 2024 02:25

Madeline L. Officer ‑ Talent (Strategic Sourcing And Emerging Talent)

Hi Jordyn, yes thats correct and Erin, yes this year we have filled all of our graduate roles via our vacation program. This may change year on year depending on business needs and student performance during the program. We were lucky to have an amazing cohort this year!

04 April, 2024 02:28

Thanks for the clarification Madeline. Does IGO offer a winter vacation program and a mid year intake of graduates?

04 April, 2024 02:31

Madeline L. Officer ‑ Talent (Strategic Sourcing And Emerging Talent)

Hi Nicholas, we won't be offering winter vac work this year, but it is something that may change in future and we won't be having a mid year intake at this stage. Thanks

04 April, 2024 02:31

If successful in both the vacation program and the graduate program, do you keep in touch with the applicants over the time in between the programs? Is there still personal/career development opportunities during that time?

04 April, 2024 02:32

Madeline L. Officer ‑ Talent (Strategic Sourcing And Emerging Talent)

Yes, we have a program to keep in touch with students, giving them the opportunity to keep in touch with technical leads in the business as well as internal training & social catch ups

04 April, 2024 02:33

Cool, thank you :)
