Applications for Rabobank’s 2026 graduate program are now open, providing university graduates interested in agriculture and agribusiness the chance to start their careers with the specialist agribusiness bank.

Rabobank is offering places for graduates from around Australia to join the bank early next year, beginning with a formal 18-month graduate program, which kicks off in February.

The world’s leading specialist food and agribusiness bank, Rabobank is one of Australia’s largest agricultural lenders and a major provider of business and corporate banking services to the country’s food and agribusiness sector.

Rabobank chief HR officer Belinda Webber says the program allows graduates to start meaningful careers with a major global food and agribusiness bank.

“Each graduate will rotate across a range of teams in the bank, within their chosen function, as part of the program,” she says.

“It is designed to provide substantial career development opportunities and support graduates in advancing in their chosen fields. Additionally, it offers a chance to be part of Rabobank's inclusive and flexible work environment.”

To help accelerate career development, each graduate will be matched with a senior leader within the bank to act as their mentor.

Graduates will also have the opportunity for interstate and, potentially, international travel.

“All graduates spend time at a rural or regional branch in Australia – including locations such as Shepparton, Kadina, Geraldton, Wagga Wagga, Toowoomba and Port Lincoln,” Belinda explains.

“Through this important customer-facing experience, individuals gain a better understanding of Rabobank’s approach to supporting clients.”
