Graduate Career Training Program
Turn your degree into a job — with a curriculum built around outcomes, not lectures.
The Graduate Career Training Program by Career Alternatives is built for graduates, undergraduates, and freshers who need to close the gap between "qualified" and "employable." Unlike generic placement-prep sessions, this is an outcome-based, mentor-led program covering self-assessment, resume and LinkedIn optimisation, employer-perspective training, and a personalised job-search plan — delivered by career coaches with real industry hiring experience. Backed by 5,500+ students trained and 3,500+ professionals coached (Career Alternatives, program data).

Ongoing support through industry-connect workshops that help you understand exactly where you fit into a team, not just how to get hired.
Questions we'll help you answer
Most graduates already have the underlying skills — the gap is usually in how those skills are demonstrated, not whether they exist. Our program starts with a Leadership Assessment and Development Test to identify your actual strengths, then builds the communication and presentation skills needed to show employers you have them.
Employability isn't a yes/no trait — it's a specific, measurable gap between what you have and what a target role needs, which is exactly what our self-assessment module identifies in week one. Rather than guessing, you get an assessed, honest picture of where you stand against real hiring criteria before you start applying.
This depends on matching your assessed strengths to your intended role, function, and industry — which is the focus of Module 2 (occupational exploration). If there's a mismatch between your career choice and your natural strengths, it's better to know that now, with time to adjust, than after months of rejected applications.
Job-readiness covers three things: a resume and LinkedIn profile that get you shortlisted, interview skills that convert shortlists into offers, and workplace-appropriate communication and soft skills once you're hired. This program is structured around exactly those three components, in that order.
Campus-interview readiness specifically requires practising under real interview conditions — mock interviews, group discussions, and employer-perspective feedback — not just knowing the theory. Our Campus to Industry Connect program runs weekend, hands-on mock-interview and GD sessions with mentoring from industry experts for exactly this reason.
Start with a clear target — role, industry, and location — rather than applying broadly, since focused applications get better response rates than mass applications. Our program's Module 2 sets these personal benchmarks first; from there, our dedicated Job Search Techniques workshop covers resume optimisation and modern search methods including using social media effectively.
Technical-interview readiness is role-specific, so it's assessed against your target function during the program rather than as a generic checklist. Where a gap exists, our mentors flag it early enough for you to close it before you're actually in front of an interviewer, rather than finding out mid-interview.
