How much do fresh graduate jobs pay per hour?

As of Sep 8, 2026, the average hourly pay for fresh graduate in Ontario is $19.42, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $14.66 and $21.63 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a fresh graduate?

Fresh graduates are individuals who have recently completed their degree or diploma from a university, college, or other educational institution. They typically have little to no professional work experience in their chosen field. Fresh graduates are often seeking their first full-time job and are looking to apply the skills and knowledge they gained during their studies to the workforce. Employers may offer entry-level positions, internships, or trainee programs specifically for fresh graduates to help them transition into their careers.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a fresh graduate?

To thrive as a Fresh Graduate, you need a relevant academic degree, foundational knowledge in your field, and a willingness to learn. Familiarity with productivity software such as Microsoft Office or Google Workspace, and in some industries, basic knowledge of tools like Excel, Python, or project management platforms is often expected. Strong communication, adaptability, and problem-solving abilities help you stand out among peers. These skills and qualities are important because they enable you to contribute effectively, learn quickly, and succeed in entry-level roles while building your professional reputation.

What types of training and mentorship can fresh graduates expect when starting their first professional role?

Fresh graduates often benefit from structured onboarding programs, which may include job-specific training, mentorship from experienced professionals, and opportunities to shadow team members. Many organizations assign a mentor or 'buddy' to help new hires acclimate to the company culture and navigate their responsibilities. This support helps fresh graduates build confidence, develop essential workplace skills, and establish a network within the organization, laying a strong foundation for future growth.

What is the difference between Fresh Graduate vs Intern?

AspectFresh GraduateIntern
CredentialsHigh school diploma or bachelor's degree; no work experience requiredUsually students or recent graduates; may have limited coursework or training
Work EnvironmentEntry-level, full-time position with responsibilitiesTemporary, part-time or project-based; learning-focused
Employer UsageHired as a permanent employee after onboardingProvides training and experience; often a stepping stone to full employment

In summary, a Fresh Graduate is typically hired as a full-time employee with responsibilities, while an Intern is usually a temporary position aimed at gaining experience. Both roles are entry-level, but the Fresh Graduate role often leads to permanent employment.

About Great Clips

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Great Clips, Inc. was established in Minneapolis, Minnesota by founders David Rubenzer and Steve Lemmon in 1982, a time when most people received haircuts in one of three ways: in full-service hair salons, from barbershops or at home. As a stylist and businessman, David could see that the industry was changing. Customers were looking for a hair salon service that could fit their busy lifestyles and desire for value. To be part of that change – rather than find themselves competing with it – David and Steve developed the then-radical concept of a walk-in haircare salon with weekend and evening hours, offering customers a select list of services, and providing benefits for stylists. After the founders opened several successful hair salons, Ray Barton joined David and Steve as an owner in March 1983. With Ray's help and expertise in franchising, the trio set about growing the Great Clips hair salon brand. That success continues through today.
