The Associates of Diversity program

About the program

The Aquarium's Associate of Diversity Program offers a cost-effective way for businesses and government entities to rapidly scale their teams. Our talented and enthusiastic associates are keen to learn and get up to speed quickly, freeing up the more senior team members to focus on higher value tasks.

The Program has been designed specifically to identify, recruit, train and deploy associates to meet a client’s requirements, whether that be – for example - project management, business analysis, software development, testing, support or network engineering.

All of our associates receive mentorship, career guidance, and tailored training. Clients can then hire associates directly after 12 months at no extra cost, showing their appreciation for their skills and energy.
