GroupM to launch open days in Sydney and Melbourne part of its M Grad program

GroupM is opening its doors to the next generation as part of its M Grad program this year. The Open Days will be hosted at GroupM’s Sydney campus on 7 June, and in Melbourne on 21 June. Registrations are open now with a few spots remaining.

The brand new Open Days programme is a new way of opening up the business to curious and excited grads who might not even know what a media agency does.

Registrations can be reached here.

Each of GroupM’s agencies has a different flavour and the Open Days are the perfect opportunity for applicants to learn about a career in media. They’ll meet senior execs, hear from past M Grads about their on-the-job experience, and learn from industry experts about the future of media and technology.

The M Grad programme is designed to give grads a real-world introduction to media fundamentals and includes media theory and practice on the job and in training sessions.

Every year GroupM hires around 20 of the best graduates and offers them a full-time job in one of its agencies.

The successful applicants get to dive straight into agency life from day one of their careers with GroupM. It’s the first step in a programme of continuous learning.

Says Elizabeth Tsang, a M Grad alumni and an account executive at mPlatform: “The M Grad programme was a much-needed introductory session into the world of Media. University doesn’t always cover everything, so to be taken through the ins and outs of Media was really helpful in preparing us for a path into the industry.”

Applications are open until 8 August 2018 and the programme starts in February 2019.
