From Summer Student to Permanent People Advisor: A Graduate's Journey at TasNetworks

What attracted you to the TasNetworks Graduate Program?

I started at TasNetworks as a Summer Student following my university studies, which gave me great insight into the business and various areas of opportunity that I could see would support my study. I then applied for a position in the Graduate Program (as a Business Graduate) and was fortunate to secure a position in the 2024 cohort.

What advice would you give to university students?

My advice for university students is to actively seek out internships or summer programs while studying. From my experience in the TasNetworks Summer Program, these opportunities are invaluable for gaining hands-on experience, applying what you’ve learned in a real-world setting, and determining whether the field aligns with your passions. They’re also a great way to get your foot in the door for future opportunities.

What’s your favourite part of your job? (& any least favourite parts!)

Being a People Graduate at TasNetworks has given me the opportunity to continue learning and growing beyond my studies. The role has given me exposure to different areas of HR, allowing me to see real-world applications of human resource management. My favourite part of the program is the incredible support and guidance from the broader team, which has helped me develop my skills and gain valuable experience across the business.

Where to from here for you?

During my most recent graduate program rotation in the partnering team a permanent opportunity came up as a People Advisor. I applied for the role and have now secured a permanent position in the team and am very excited for the future and to have the opportunity to work in a long term role at TasNetworks.
