DevelopHer Scholarship (Jul 2024)

MYOB’s commitment in making the technological future more equitable starts with increasing more women and those who identify as female launch their careers into software development.

DevelopHer does just this! MYOB offers a paid scholarship with our wonderful tertiary partner RMIT, a paid salary while you learn and a permanent role as a Protégé Developer in our graduate program, The Future Makers Academy. It's a one of a kind opportunity with all the perks to help women begin their immersion into a career as a software developer. Let’s face it, we need more women building software.

With supportive mentors and a learning environment that will help women thrive, it’s a great beginning to a long lasting career.

A bit about MYOB

To make all this happen, we are dedicated in creating an exceptional flexible employee experience for all team members and offer a culture where you can be yourself.

With a strong emphasis on learning and experimentation, we use modern technologies to deliver experiences that inform and delight our customers. Everything we deliver is an opportunity to do things better than the last time, from the processes and tools we use to the way we build and deploy.

What to expect in the DevelopHer program

In your first initial week of being a DevelopHer, you will be paired with an MYOB mentor who will support you through your learning journey at RMIT. You will meet your DevelopHer peers as well as get to know your RMIT cohorts who will be learning with you as you begin to adopt various practices and concepts of application development.

At RMIT, you will be exposed to a bootcamp and studio model of learning. This means that it will be a blend of both onsite and virtual learning with practices that will make you industry ready. This is guided by qualified teachers, professors and tutors who will support you along the way, with continual support from MYOB.

After the 6 month completion with RMIT, you will enter into our graduate program and become a permanent member in The Future Makers Academy as a Protégé Developer. This is where you will unpack your learning and be guided by passionate mentors and learn to work in teams with the aim to progress into an Associate Developer.

What you will bring

• Your curious nature
• A passion to solve problems
• An interest in understanding patterns
• Resilience and grit
• Desire to learn and grow
• You’re a good communicator and enjoy working in a team

If working and collaborating where opinions are valued and your ideas can make a difference is important, you need to work at MYOB. We look forward to meeting you.

We are an equal opportunity employer and embrace diversity at our company.
