**The ACE scheme was developed to simplify the application processes for new graduates wanting to apply for their first positions within the New Zealand Districts **
The ACE scheme simplifies the recruitment process for graduates by using a centralised match process which simultaneously considers the applicants work place (District) preference as well as the District's preference of applicants.
It is beneficial for applicants as they only need to apply once to ACE for any position within the Districts and are placed only into positions with Districts that they have expressed their interest in joining.
