Zespri opens graduate scheme
Two positions are available to recent graduates, offering 18 months working across Zespri's business including six months offshore, explains Zespri Global Sourcing Partner, Bernadette Ryan-Hopkins.
“The kiwifruit industry is looking at serious growth– with export revenue set to triple to $3 billion by 2025 – and Zespri wants the brightest and best employees onboard to grow our business. “This new graduate recruitment scheme is part of our commitment to develop the future leaders of this industry,” says Bernadette.
Applications are welcome from graduates from all disciplines. Skills in languages, horticulture, marketing, IT and finance are particularly relevant but Bernadette explains that the right attitude is the most important of all.
“The successful applicants will also have a senior executive mentor for their time at Zespri – an excellent opportunity to get advice from someone who's worked their way through the business,” says Bernadette.
Applications are open from July 28 to August 25. Applicants must be New Zealand residents and have graduated within the past 12 months. Visit www.zespri.com for more details and to apply online.
