  New to Early Careers or the AAGE? Connect, Learn and Grow

  Starting out in graduate recruitment or development? Whether you've just stepped into your role or are still finding your feet, this session is designed especially for you.

  Join us for a virtual meet-up for employers only where you can connect with others who are also new to the early careers space. This informal, interactive session is all about building your network, sharing experiences and learning the 'how to' of graduate recruitment and program delivery.

  Together, we’ll explore:

  • The key stages of a graduate recruitment and development cycle
  • Common challenges and helpful tips from others who have recently navigated the same path
  • Opportunities to ask questions in a supportive, peer-driven environment.

  This is your chance to build confidence, swap ideas and start shaping your approach with the support of a like-minded community.

  Who should attend:

  Anyone who is new to a role in graduate recruitment, early careers or development – whether you're coming from HR, recruitment, learning and development, or elsewhere.

  Between the Offer and Day One: Keeping Candidates Engaged and Setting the Stage for Success

  What happens after your candidate says “yes”? The time between offer acceptance and start date is an important window – not just for candidate engagement, but for planning a smooth and meaningful transition into your graduate program.

  Join us for a virtual roundtable discussion designed for early careers professionals who want to strengthen their pre-onboarding experience, reimagine their graduate transition to work activities and ensure key internal stakeholders are aligned throughout the journey.

  This interactive session will be a chance to:

  • Share strategies that keep future grads warm, connected and excited about joining your organisation
  • Explore how to use the post-offer period to refine your onboarding and development plans.
    
  • Learn how others in the early careers space bring stakeholders into the conversation and make them active participants in candidate care.
    

  Bring your questions, insights and ideas from your own programs – this session is about peer-to-peer learning, real-world examples and sparking fresh thinking.

  You spend your time developing others – grads, interns, leaders – but when’s the last time you focused on your own growth?!

  This practical, face-to-face session is designed for experienced early careers professionals ready to go beyond the day-to-day and invest in sharpening their own practice. You won’t just sit back and listen. You’ll reflect, share and walk away with real tools you can apply straight away, whether you’re leading directly or influencing through others.

  Together, we’ll explore how to:

  • Understand what truly motivates your stakeholders – and how to work with it
  • Influence effectively – especially when the decision making isn’t yours
  • Communicate with clarity – even when time and headspace are limited.

  This three-hour bespoke session, facilitated by a Leadership Development expert, has been designed with input from other experienced early careers professionals specifically for the AAGE. This professional development opportunity is designed for those leading their early careers team or graduate program function who have a minimum of three years' experience in the industry.

  Expect energy, ideas, practical takeaways and meaningful connection with peers who understand the complexity of your role, all over a shared lunch.

  Spaces are limited – register now to secure your spot. Because levelling up shouldn’t just be for grads.
  

  Facilitator:
