MYOB's DevelopHer aims to bridge both the diversity and skills gap by helping more women launch their careers in software development. MYOB's commitment to this is through DevelopHer: a scholarship aimed at women (or those that identify) with zero to little software development experience*
DevelopHer is a paid scholarship at RMIT - while you study (July - February) we offer you a supporting salary too. Once you successfully pass RMIT, you will be transferred to a Protege Developer in our Future Makers Academy with further learning to become as Associate Developer. With supportive mentors and a learning environment that will help women thrive, it's a great beginning to a long lasting career.
What to expect in the DevelopHer program
In your first initial week of being a DevelopHer, you will be paired with an MYOB mentor and a learning - they will support you through your learning journey at RMIT and beyond. You will meet your DevelopHer peers as well as get to know your RMIT cohort 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. You will be guided by qualified teachers, professors and tutors who will support you along the way, with continual support from MYOB. After successfully completing your scholarship at RMIT, you will receive a Graduate Certificate in Application Development** and will enter into our graduate program as a Protégé Developer. This is where you will unpack your learning and continue to work towards becoming an Associate Developer

Pros and cons of working at MYOB
Pros
Great support network including other graduates, learning buddy and mentor
Company culture, capacity for growth and flexible working.
Very flexible, great work life balance, great culture, lots of learning opportunities.
Company culture. Welcoming, encouraging, strong promotion of teamwork, great diversity in all areas.
Mentorship from senior developers in a flexible working environment.
Cons
Commute, but that's obviously out of everyone’s control.
When given so much freedom it can be hard to know which way to go. Fortunately, there are plenty of people happy to answer questions to help you find out.
The economy impacting internal hires and career growth.
When awesome people leave and join other companies.
The transition from acceleration -> crew rotations -> associate is very manual and not well supported. The individual graduate has to find their own way and sometimes it's a hit and miss where they end up.
