The TBA Graduate Program welcomes individuals from all backgrounds. The only prerequisite is that students have an interest in the thoroughbred industry and are keen to pursue a career in racing, breeding or wagering.
The TBA Graduate Program is national initiative and open to students from all states and territories.
This program is free for all students, including all teaching materials and accommodation during the two-week learning block. Students will, however, have to arrange their own travel to Melbourne.
There is no guarantee of a job at the end of the program. However, all those completing the course are putting themselves in a good position to secure a role in the industry. We are confident that employers are going to value those who have completed the program and receive a good reference from their internship employer.
Students will get paid during their six-week work placement, although the exact payment will be determined by their employer company. Students will not be paid during the two-week learning block.
There will be transport available for your program activities which means it’s not necessary for this period. Your work placement will depend on your organisation and recommendations.
Students accommodation will be organised and paid for during the two-week learning block in Melbourne. If students have an internship away from their home, they may need to organise their own accommodation.
Students must have graduated with a degree in 2024 or 2023. It is a key requirement that those enrolled on the program are able to commit to the two-week learning block and then a six-week internship.
The work placement is organised by TBA based on your application and personal interests. We can’t guarantee where students are sent, though we will give consideration to specific requests.
A shortlist of candidates will be interviewed in mid to late November.
Applications will be open until the 21st of November. Applicants will find out the outcome of the program during the first week of December.
I STILL HAVE MORE QUESTIONS!
