Best practice training in the fundamentals of graduate recruitment and development

The aim of the AAGE Practitioner Master Class is to provide participants with an overview of best practice in the fundamentals of Graduate Recruitment and Development.

The target audience for these Master Classes are employer representatives with 0 to 12 months’ experience in the graduate recruitment and development industry. We would normally expect around 10-20 people at each Master Class.

Each Master Class will last for half a day and will consist of 4 sessions of 45-60 minutes each.  These 4 sessions will cover the basic elements of managing a graduate recruitment and development program. Sessions will be presented by the AAGE and some of our employer members.

The 4 sessions are as follows:

1. Attraction (attraction strategies and marketing channels. e.g. careers fairs, student societies, job boards, social media etc.)
2. Assessment and selection (mechanisms for identifying and assessing competencies. e.g. application forms, screening, aptitude testing, assessment centres, interviewing, video interviewing, outsourcing etc.)
3. Graduate development programs (design and structure of Graduate Development Programs including rotations, buddies, mentors, on-boarding, technical training, “soft skills” training etc.)
4. Useful information (An overview of the various sources of help and information available to AAGE members. E.g. Benchmarking surveys, semester dates, careers fair timetables, UniStats, SocList, Whirlpool, WGEA, AGRIAs, Top Graduate Employers, Top Intern Programs, etc.)
