  Selecting + Skilling Graduates for an AI Career 

  Presented by our Industry Partner SHL
  

  Webinar overview: You're recruiting the next generation of leaders who'll think about AI the way we now think about Wi-Fi—it's everywhere, and embedded in everything.

  But succeeding in the coming AI-driven workplace demands more than being able to craft a smart prompt (or cover letter!). It’s about behavioural skills: judgement, creativity, and decision-making in new and complex contexts. These are the skills that truly unlock AI’s value, and they’re precisely what we'll cover in our webinar with AAGE on the 19th of June.

  SHL identifies seven critical behavioural skill areas that predict high performance in AI-enabled roles.

  Join this session to take away:

  • A clear view of the emerging role AI skills play in graduate recruitment
    
  • A framework to help you identify and select the right behavioural skills in your next graduate intake
    
  • Key insights into the prevalence of these essential skills among 2025 graduates
    
  • A roadmap to understand the skills to develop in your future graduate cohorts to accelerate the positive impact of AI.

  Time

  • 12.00 noon - 1.00pm ACT/NSW/TAS/VIC/QLD time
  • 11.30am - 12.30pm SA/NT time
