About the Program

From day one as a Coles Group Graduate, you'll feel the connection your work has to our purpose of "helping Australians eat and live better every day". Our award-winning Grad Program offers two years (three years for Finance Graduates) of hands-on learning designed to help you grow and the opportunity to take on meaningful work and make an impact.

You will play a role in providing food, drink and home solutions that are delicious, sustainable and healthy for our customers; and ensuring to deliver a consistent experience for our customers every day, both in-store and online.

Why become a Coles Group Graduate?

At Coles, we understand that when you're included, trusted and supported by leaders who genuinely care, you can do your best work for the team feeling like you belong.

During the two- year program, you'll be working on real deliverables with clear ownership and accountability as you learn and grow through functional rotations, a tailored development program and a tight-knit support network.

In your second year, you will also complete the Innovation Project, where you will work with a team to solve a genuine business challenge with an innovative solution. The top teams will get the opportunity to present their ideas to our Executive Leadership Team and Coles Board.

We will support your passion and graduate journey with experiences and opportunities, with each rotation expanding your knowledge as you continue to discover Coles and yourself.

Central Operation Graduates join the engine room that keeps us moving, from supporting Distribution Centres to efficiently delivering our products into stores; to empowering our store teams to serve millions of customers each week with pride.

As a Central Ops Graduate, you will have the opportunity to be challenged as a leader, take ownership, and work on large projects that span Coles end-to-end. You will be the vital link between the Store Support Centre and our stores so that we can land change that is best for Coles, drive sales, improve profitability and make life easier for our team and customers.

The Graduate program begins in February 2027. However, if you have completed your studies, there may be work opportunities available at our Coles head office before the program starts, subject to availability.

Future leaders bring courage to the table, applications open 24 March 2026 and will close 27 April 2026. Pre-register NOW

Eligibility Criteria:
  • Hold an Australian or New Zealand citizen or hold a permanent residency at the time of application
  • Have completed a bachelor's degree before commencing the program
  • Technology stream only: We also accept applicants from those on a 485 Graduate Visa (or who will have this visa by October 2026).

As one of the largest private sector employers of Indigenous Australians, we encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to apply to our graduate program.
