Beyond the Grad Program - Exploring the future of AI

Monique’s journey into the Vocus Graduate Program is a testament to her lifelong passion for science and her desire to embrace new challenges. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Physics from The University of Sydney, Monique’s path has been defined by curiosity and a love for solving complex problems.

After earning her degree, Monique embarked on a year long journey across Europe, soaking in new cultures, meeting diverse people and gaining experiences that broadened her worldview. That year helped her build a global perspective, which she brings to her work at Vocus.

I’ve always been drawn to science because it allows me to delve into fascinating and complex ideas. The tech industry felt like a natural fit for my love of problem-solving and working with people,” Monique explains.

This passion ultimately led her to Vocus, where the genuine enthusiasm of employees at the assessment centre convinced her Vocus was the right place to start her career.

The Graduate Program has been a life-changing experience for Monique. Her rotations in Digital Sales & Transformation, Enterprise Solution Consulting and AI and Automation have helped her discover her strengths, and working with her fellow graduates has been a huge highlight. “Being able to navigate corporate life and go through the Program together has been an incredible experience”, Monique shares.

Another standout for Monique is the variety of role opportunities available for graduates. "Having three rotations in completely different areas of the business has helped me understand how I work best and where my talents can thrive”, she explains. Monique has now completed the two-year program and has recently taken on a permanent role as an Associate AI Analyst within Vocus’s Automation & AI Innovation Program. “I’m thrilled about this opportunity to work in such a dynamic environment”, she says. “My passion for AI drives me to explore new technologies and discover how they can enhance our ways of working and elevate standards at Vocus.” She’s also excited about contributing to innovative projects and continuing to learn from her peers and mentors. “Being part of a forward-thinking company that values creativity and innovation is so inspiring”, she adds.

From the start, Monique has been impressed by the supportive culture at Vocus. “The visible support employees show each other is incredible. Wins are celebrated, help is acknowledged and you’re always encouraged to grow, she explains. This collaborative environment has also allowed her to engage directly with stakeholders, own her projects and even present to the CEO. "The exposure I've had to the business and leadership has exceeded all my expectations”, Monique says.

As Monique looks to the future, she reflects on how the Vocus Graduate Program has shaped her path and set the foundation for an exciting career in AI. “This program has been a journey of growth and real impact”, she shares. With her next step as an Associate AI Analyst, Monique is eager to help Vocus harness technology to solve complex challenges and innovate across the business. Her story embodies the opportunities Vocus offers: a place where passion meets purpose and where graduates can build meaningful careers while shaping the future of technology.
