Whilst we can’t predict the future of work with absolute certainty, one thing that is certain is that the world of work will continue to change. Early talent professionals will need to be agile and innovative in responding to these changes and to ensure they are recruiting, developing and retaining talent that thrives in their organisation, now and into that future. This year’s theme ‘Investing In and Nurturing Future-Ready Talent’ seeks to explore the ways that both individual delegates and the organisations they represent can build knowledge and programs that are responsive to the changing landscape of work. By delivering insights into best practice attraction, selection and development, content throughout the program will expand delegates’ understanding of what it means to invest in, engage and nurture early careers talent.
The Annual AAGE Graduate Recruitment and Development Conference will bring together recruitment and development practitioners from around Australia, offering professional and personal development through keynotes, workshops, interactive discussion forums and networking opportunities.
You can hear insights from other graduate employers and industry leaders, learn about the latest innovations at the conference expo and celebrate best practice at the AAGE Graduate Recruitment Industry Awards (AGRIAs), held during the black tie AAGE Gala Dinner on Day 2 of the conference. At the end of the three days, you will have further developed your skill set, shared ideas and solutions to industry challenges and feel inspired to lead your organisation’s early careers programs.
Employer delegates also have the opportunity to attend the optional Pre-Conference Leader or Practitioner Seminar for $50 + GST, to be held concurrently on Wednesday 30th October at 9.00am. The Practitioner session is for representatives who are new to the industry (0-2 years' experience) and the Leader session is for representatives who are responsible for managing strategic direction (2+ years' experience).
