Connect with the early careers community to share insights, discuss what’s changing and build the relationships that help our sector thrive.

More than halfway through the year, this series of AAGE roundtables is a timely opportunity to pause, compare notes and gather practical market updates from the people who understand the realities of early careers recruitment and development. Join peers, partners and the wider AAGE community for an engaging conversation about the trends, pressures and opportunities shaping programs right now.

We’ll open with networking over lunch to help you quickly build new connections and reconnect with familiar faces. Then you’ll take part in interactive roundtables designed to draw out the topics on everyone’s radar - from forecasting graduate role requirements and managing higher application volumes, to responding to candidate use of AI, strengthening pre-start engagement, maintaining candidate care under pressure, supporting managers to develop early talent, and building inclusive, future-ready pathways across graduate, intern and broader early careers programs.

These conversations are your chance to hear about what others are seeing in market, test your thinking, benchmark your approach and take away ideas you can apply in your own organisation. You might connect with another employer navigating similar workforce planning challenges, meet a university or supplier partner who can support your next campaign, or hear how other teams are managing budgets, team capacity, technology, student expectations and the need to keep the human connection at the heart of early careers.

Whatever stage your program is at - and whatever questions stakeholders are asking - this community of practice is an incredible source of insight, encouragement and connection.
