ANZ has been recognized as the Most Popular Banking, Finance, and Insurance Employer for graduates at the GradConnection Top100 Graduate Employers Awards. This marks the fourth consecutive year the ANZ Graduate program has received this accolade. Additionally, ANZ secured the fifth position as the Overall Most Popular Graduate Employer, placing within the top five out of 100 nominees across Australia.
The awards, currently in their 11th year, are a joint initiative between GradConnection and The Australian Financial Review, celebrating the most popular graduate employers in the country.
ANZ Group Executive, Talent, and Culture, Elisa Clements commented on the achievement: “We are proud to have been acknowledged once again by the Top100 Graduate Employers Awards and to win the title of Most Popular Banking, Finance and Insurance Employer for the fourth year running. It is a testament to the calibre of our graduate program and well-deserved recognition for both the ANZ employees and graduates who make the program the success that it is."
She also highlighted a distinctive feature of ANZ's graduate program: "At ANZ, a key point of difference in our graduate program is that we do not focus only on university results or require applicants to submit a CV or resume. Instead, we take a much broader perspective and choose to focus on individual skills, values and creativity, and our recruitment process is designed to give candidates the opportunity to show their best selves.”
The Australian Financial Review will publish the complete list of winners. Meanwhile, the 2025 ANZ Graduate cohort is set to begin their first rotations next week. Expressions of interest for the 2026 program will close in mid-March 2025.
