Tracy Lee, conference producer at Symposium events comments:
The discussion surrounding graduate recruitment and development is markedly topical at present, particularly with the introduction of the apprenticeship levy and increasing competition for high quality talent.
Our graduate recruitment event has continually challenged and impressed HR professionals working in the niche for ten years.Through understanding how best to attract, develop and retain graduates, organisations will be better able to foster and secure future talent and skills.
By re-assessing the connection of graduate programmes to other early careers channels the event will enable a more holistic talent strategy open to both millennials and the new ageing workforce.
Through attending the Conference, you will:
- Understand the value and contribution of graduates to your organisation – your bottomline, innovation and talent pipeline
- Hear about the latest studies on the needs and wants of graduates to be able to develop an attractive, engaging and robust graduate recruitment programme
- Develop a strong, authentic and appealing graduate employer brand to improve attraction, alignment and retention
- Discover innovative approaches to developing graduates

The conference will provide plenty of opportunity for you to network with other industry professionals and share your graduate recruitment ideas and challenges.
