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

Hear from Tim Tielen who has been with the Group for five years and in that time has moved through different roles and is currently our Dare Brand Manager.

Having grown up in the country, the Bega Group’s connection with farmers and their origins first attracted me to the business.

During my five years here, I have been lucky enough to have had access to multiple opportunities – first through the Graduate Program followed by an internal move into my current role.

I first started as a Sales and Marketing Graduate which allowed me to work across marketing, category and in the field. Following this I returned to Marketing as an Assistant Brand Manager looking after Nut Spreads and more recently, I moved into my current role Brand Manager – Dare. read more
