We don’t just support your job search we help you map your career. There’s a big difference. We don’t consider ourselves a job board, while we certainly have a job board and search functionality, we are an interactive platform focused on attracting people to the ever expanding opportunities in the Food & Beverage Industry, celebrating the people and organizations, new and old, small and large.

There are so many options from farm to fork, along the entire supply chain. The hurdle is being aware of them. FoodGrads is a place to go where you can literally see all the options, choose one that interests you then dive in. Regardless of your entry point, there is something for everyone and we will help you find it, provide you with direction, advice, mentorship and support you in mapping your career.
Check out the ‘Careers in Food & Beverage‘ E-Book.
Now we know life happens, things change, nothing is set in stone, so we can also support you if you decide on a different direction or are in a career transition. Taking all the knowledge and experience you already have and applying it elsewhere.
This interactive platform is for students, new graduates and experienced professionals who want to connect with the industry for a variety of reasons. If you work in the Food & Beverage Industry (or want to) we know you will find value here. The crossover is the really cool thing. Chefs, Plant Managers, Marketers, Innovators, Scientists, Farmers, Brokers, Nutritionists etc. etc. interacting in one place, now doesn’t that sound like a place you need to be?
So many benefits, where to start!
If a company has become a member of FoodGrads it means that they see the value in taking care of you! It means they see a value in attracting people to this wonderful industry and it means they want to support us so we can offer you guidance, mentorship, training and resources to support you as you start out but also through-out your career.
Small and mediums may not have as many resources as large companies who have an internal Graduate Recruitment Strategy, but they offer an excellent training ground. You can see different roles and work in different departments so you get to have a better understanding of the industry.
In a large organization, the chances are you will work in one department and gain a deeper understanding of that function, but what if you are not entirely convinced on the path you want to take, should you get to ‘try before you buy’ to a certain degree too?
We are advocating for you. There are good and bad employers in every industry, but we strive to keep employers who subscribe to FoodGrads accountable.
The first issue we are working on is feedback after an interview. Our hope is that all our employer members commit to providing feedback if they have spoken to you in person, done a face to face interview/zoom etc. so you are informed of your candidate status during and at the end of the interview process.
