This forum is designed for experienced early careers recruiters, campus engagement specialists and program leads who are looking to strengthen and evolve their early talent strategies. It will explore how organisations can identify and engage promising talent earlier in the student journey - including before final year - through effective outreach, partnership models and pipeline-building approaches.

Bringing together employer members and early careers leaders, the session will create space to share current practice, discuss future ambitions and examine how early career programs can be elevated to better support long-term talent identification, access and conversion. Attendees will leave with ideas for identifying talent earlier, building stronger student pipelines and shaping more strategic early career programs.

Key themes include:

• Programs for pre-penultimate cohorts (work experience, cadetships, traineeships, apprenticeships, WIL, internships, clerkships)
• Engagement through events and marketing
• Diversity and inclusion in early identification
• Partnerships with high schools, governing bodies, universities and third-party providers.

The session will be structured around information sharing, discussion and practical action planning and will consider opportunities for shared practice, collaboration and advocacy across the sector.
