Kraft Heinz Graduate Programme

Our programme will be split into two streams - Corporate and Technical and will divide across three sections: a week-long induction with both technical and corporate graduates, 4-week cross functional learning across NZ sites, and a functional placement with a 10-month project.

THE NZ KRAFT HEINZ TECHNICAL GRADUATE PROGRAMME

Induction:
During your first week induction, you will be introduced to each division in Kraft Heinz NZ, working alongside your graduate peers (both technical and corporate) to complete a range of onboarding case studies to get to know the business.
