Collective Wisdom: Insights and Inspiration for 2026 Planning

You're invited to the final series of AAGE events for 2025: the Graduate Recruitment and Development Roundtables. Join peers from across the early careers community for an engaging discussion that reflects on the current landscape, explores what’s working and what’s changing, and helps shape your 2026 strategy. Together, we’ll share insights, exchange practical ideas and draw on our collective experience to plan for the year ahead while strengthening connections across our industry.

Topics for discussion include:

• AAGE data updates and insights
• Trends and shifts in the early careers market
• Recruitment campaign lessons - what worked (and didn’t) in 2025 campaigns and how to adapt for 2026
• Retention and early engagement - keeping candidates connected and committed between offer and Day One
• AI and technology in recruitment and development
• Graduate development and learning pathways - planning for your 2026 graduate cohort
