  Join the AAGE for a member-only webinar showcasing two AGRIA-winning initiatives driving inclusive and accessible recruitment. Hear from John Pynaker, Powerlink Queensland and Lou Zoanetti, Brightworks as they share how they are identifying and removing barriers, building capability and improving outcomes for underrepresented talent across the early careers pipeline.

  Powerlink will share its multi‑year Student Engagement Strategy to increase awareness, access, aspiration and support for under‑represented students, strengthening long‑term pathways into STEM-based early careers roles. Brightworks will present on its dedicated neuro-inclusive recruitment pathway, including specialised assessment tools, tailored processes and early transparency to support psychological safety and encourage disclosure. This is an opportunity to learn directly from other AAGE members who have been recognised by their peers for their initiatives, ask questions, and take away practical ideas to apply in your own recruitment and early careers practices.

  This webinar will be held as follows:

  • 1.00pm - 2.00pm ACT/NSW/TAS/VIC/QLD time
  • 12.30pm - 1.30pm SA/NT time
  • 11.00am - 12.00 noon WA time

  You will receive a confirmation email upon registering. The AAGE will send a separate email to participants prior to the webinar with the link to join.

  We’re excited to invite early careers professionals to the 38th Annual AAGE Graduate Recruitment and Development Conference!

  In 2026, we’re evolving our format to bring you the same high-quality content, thought leadership and community connection – now in a streamlined two-day program. By starting earlier on Day 1, the schedule ensures you experience all of the hallmark elements of the AAGE Conference, from inspiring keynotes, interactive workshops, the dynamic industry expo, and opportunities to exchange ideas and best practices with your peers. The Social Evening and the AAGE Gala Dinner, featuring the 2026 AAGE Graduate Recruitment Industry Awards (AGRIAs), will remain integral highlights within the two-day program.

  In addition, we will be sharing details in early 2026 regarding optional extras for a third day on Friday 13th November, enabling those interested to further enhance their industry engagement and professional development.

  The AAGE Conference remains the must-attend event for anyone shaping the future of early careers. Join us to connect with like-minded professionals, learn from leading voices and walk away with insights that will influence your programs and the talent you support.
