Get to know our Graduate Programme

Our award-winning Graduate Programme gives you the chance to learn more about us while we get to know you better as well.

You’ll have the opportunity to work in different areas of the business, to explore the roles across our operational footprint – everything from Engineering and Technology to Finance - and find out which ones are best suited to your skills, qualifications, and career ambitions.

You’ll roll up your sleeves and start contributing from day one as you learn on the job. That learning will be supported by an industry-leading and well-structured development programme. This includes mentoring and online learning, plus regular advice and guidance from the most senior people in the organisation.

Living up to our Purpose

Our Purpose – to re-imagine mining to improve people’s lives – runs through everything we do.

Join Anglo American and you'll be making a difference to change things for today and tomorrow. From producing the metals and minerals we need for a cleaner, greener, more electrified world and our aim to be carbon neutral by 2040 to the investments we make in education and healthcare to improve the lives and livelihoods of our host communities.

Our Graduate Development Framework

From your Global Graduate Induction event to the day you take up your first permanent role in the organisation, your journey through our Graduate Programme will be supported by a structured and robust Graduate Development Framework.

We'll help you to develop all of the foundational skills that set you up for your professional career.

Welcome to the Anglo American Graduate Programme

Your journey through the programme will equip you with the skills, experiences and opportunities you need to thrive in a challenging but exciting world.

We’re re-imagining mining to improve people’s lives, and we want you to be a part of it.

Our tailor-made induction will introduce you to the purpose that informs everything we do – to our strategy, our values and our graduate development expectations.

The framework we use is designed to nurture the leaders of tomorrow

It balances the development of the core, discipline-specific skills and essential behavioural/leadership skills you’ll need to take on an entry level leadership role upon completion.

You’ll learn on the job, tackling real world projects

You’ll be given real responsibility both as an individual and as part of a team, delivering value through projects that reward innovative and creative thinking.

We’ll support, shape and enhance your learning journey every step of the way

Our thought leaders will offer unique insights and coaching experiences, while our world-class, in-house learning platforms help build the learning agility you’ll need to complete the programme.

You’ll have the opportunity to push yourself in different directions

From role rotations within your business unit to stretch roles for the top-performing graduates, you’ll have the chance to grow your skills, knowledge and cross-commodity/geography exposure.

Your journey will span both physical and virtual spaces

Masterclasses, forums and meet-ups with your peers and leaders take place both in-person and online, furthering the development of your technical and behavioural skills.

Once your journey is over, the next exciting one will begin

As you move from the programme to key leadership roles in Anglo American, our commitment to your professional growth and development will remain as strong as ever.
