Joining the Bega Group through the RISE Graduate Program over 18 months ago, Georgia Pearson, Logistics & Supply Chain Graduate shared a little about the opportunities that have cropped up for her at the Bega Group RISE Graduate Program

I have been fortunate enough to start my career with the Bega Group within the RISE Graduate Program, which is synonymous with how the Group supports growth. It is a valuable opportunity for recent graduates to enter the workforce and apply their studies. This is achieved through on-the-job learning and formal learning initiatives such as the #heartLEADER program as well as a formal mentoring program. For me, the Graduate Program was a stepping stone into the workforce. The program has provided me exposure to various aspects of the Bulk Nutritionals and Ingredients business unit, and I have been able to gradually grow my understanding of the business along with my skills. read more

Nicky Martin, Graduate Engineer

I’ve been with the Bega Group for just over two and a half months, and I’ve felt very welcomed as a new starter. I loved the idea of working for a big Australian brand which was part of my initial attraction to the business, and I love to support Australians. The company values really resonate, and I love them too! Early on I already find that I’m enjoying not only being connected to the food but making changes for the better.

I’d describe the Bega Group as direct, innovative and supportive. Direct, because it is fast-paced and to the point, if something is or isn’t working you are going to find out very quickly. Innovative, as you can think of very creative ways to fix different problems. I feel very supported not only by my team but the company as a whole, everyone wants you to do well and is willing to help you achieve that. read more
