Fancy yourself being the next Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates? Can you see yourself working in an industry that is constantly growing and changing?

Here in Australia, the IT industry is rapidly expanding, and the demand for talented, knowledgeable and experienced individuals has never been higher. If you’re thinking about sinking your teeth into such a dynamic career path, look no further than MEGT’s Microsoft Traineeship Program.

This two year program means you’re employed through MEGT’s Group Training program. MEGT will place you with a host employer within the Microsoft Australia network and the employer will be responsible for your day-to-day work, on-the-job training and development.

Here are the unique opportunities this program can give you to kickstart your dream career in IT, get you straight into the field and help make your resume POP!

Networking

You’ve heard it before, and you’ll hear it again: “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know”.

Not only would you be rubbing shoulders with innovators and leaders in IT who can teach you, share their experiences and open doors to more opportunities, you’d also be buddying up with people sharing similar interests to you.

Teamwork makes the dream work guys, so just think about your new work mates and what you could create together!

Paid work

You’d be hitting two birds with one stone. Not only would you be gaining a Certificate IV in Information Technology delivered by TAFE, but you also get on-the-job, practical experience to prepare you for jumping straight into the field.

The real kicker is that you’d be getting paid the whole time! Hallelujah! 

Personalised mentoring and support

Microsoft Australia’s Managing Director, Steven Worrall says: “By 2024, Australia will face a shortfall of 100,000 workers in the ICT sector. As industry leaders, playing a more direct role in growing and nurturing talent will be one of the ways to solve this problem.”

What this means for you is that you will be nurtured, supported and encouraged because you’re so important for the future! MEGT knows how to best support you throughout your traineeship, as they realise that no two trainees are the same! Whether this is your first job, or your first in a new field or industry, MEGT will support you every step of the way to ensure you’re motivated and feelin’ mighty inspired in your field of choice.

Industry experience

When it comes to IT, you really need to know what you’re doing. Thankfully with the invaluable industry experience that you’ll gain, you’ll be ahead of the game and your resume would stand out like a sore thumb (a beautiful sore thumb at that) in a sea of job applicants.

This also means that you’ll feel confident and comfortable when starting your career, not feeling overwhelmed and lost.

So if you’re a recent school-leaver or someone who’s ready to make a move into IT, listen up. MEGT is looking for people to join their Microsoft Traineeship Program. They want people with a passion for technology, who are keen to learn some tricks and tips, possess good written and verbal communication skills, but most importantly have a desire and drive to build their own career in IT.
