An NSW social insurer and care provider has welcomed six fresh additions to its graduate program.
Successfully making it to the 2018 icare Graduate Program from more than 650 hopefuls were Alisara Alcaide, Brendan Ma, Annie Chen, Piper Thatcher, Brittney James, and Casper Cheung, with some of them relocating from the interstate and regional NSW to start working with Australia's largest insurance start-up.
icare's two-year, rotation-based graduate program gives graduates hands-on, professional experience in diverse roles across the icare business, as well as the opportunity to take part in a tailored learning and leadership development program, which includes experiential workshops and structured learning sessions in disciplines such as active career management, self-awareness, and human-centred design.
Blazenka Skender, icare's acting chief people officer, said the program provides graduates with the “the unique opportunity to work on and be responsible for real and meaningful projects.”
“Our graduate program is an integral part of our Future Leaders Strategy,” Skender said. “We look for candidates who not only reflect our social values, but who are innovative thinkers involved in some form of community leadership, are open to new challenges and have a genuine curiosity to learn and grow into our future leaders.”
Only 12 months after the program was launched, it already made the top three on Australia's 2018 Top 75 Graduate Employers list.
