Our Associate Program

The duration of the Associate Program is flexible; the ultimate goal is for each Associate Program member to fully understand and be able to represent our platform across different markets. In general, your time on the Associate Program will last between 18 to 24 months, depending on business requirements. Following this period, and based on your performance, prior experience, individual preferences and, ultimately, our business requirements, you will receive an offer for a permanent position within the company, typically based at a pre-agreed Partners Group office.

Our Associate Program is an opportunity for you to gain as much experience as possible across our business lines and within Partners Group. We screen and hire candidates with top academic credentials, outgoing personalities and a passion for hands-on value creation. Once selected, we are dedicated to developing participants through a combination of classroom and on-the-job training. No two paths on the Associate Program are the same; advice and mentoring is provided on an individual basis in order to maximize your growth and development within the firm.
