Answer

I am advised New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) defines a “graduate role” as a permanent, entry level position for individuals with a university degree or transferable experience. NZTE had 13 graduate positions between November 2024 and November 2025. I am advised one of these positions was transferred to Invest NZ when it was established in July 2025.
