AEMO Arctic Shores Assessment

Graduate Program (Australian Energy Market Operator)

AEMO — the Australian Energy Market Operator — puts graduate applicants through a gamified online assessment after the application stage; its own recruitment-process page describes the round as looking at alignment with the rotational program and AEMO's values. The platform is Arctic Shores: we verified a 2026-cycle candidate invitation pointing directly to the Arctic Shores assessment platform (August 2026), and Whirlpool graduate threads report the same. AEMO doesn't publish which tasks you get, so practise the full modern suite — the subset varies.

The process

  1. Stage 1 — Online application

    Applications through AEMO’s graduate careers portal; streams span engineering, IT, data and corporate disciplines.

  2. Stage 2 — Arctic Shores assessment

    Task-based mini-games after the application screen; Arctic Shores assessments include a practice run before each task and send candidates a feedback report afterwards.

  3. Later stages — Interviews

    Shortlisted candidates progress to interviews; details vary by stream and year — follow your invitation.

Timing

Graduate applications typically run mid-year with the assessment round following soon after; 2026-cycle candidates completed Arctic Shores rounds in late August. The next intake is expected to open in 2027.
