Our 2023 Emerging Talent Summit taking place on June 22nd, will bring together Talent Acquisition leaders and senior Early Career professionals to explore successful strategies and new developments in the recruitment and retention of early careers talent
In 2023, organisations are looking to re-energise their early talent programmes, building on plans formed last year as the world emerged from a pandemic which disrupted our youth at a critical point in their education.
Two years of skill scarcity have been the conduit to new investment in emerging talent – hiring them, developing them. It’s all about creating your own experts. Whether for graduate programmes, apprenticeships, or ad hoc youth employment, growing your own talent is probably an integral part of your talent strategy this year.
Our 2023 Emerging Talent Summit will bring together Talent Acquisition leaders and senior Early Career professionals to explore successful strategies and new developments in the recruitment and retention of early careers talent. This thought-provoking event includes expert speakers, panel Q&As and peer discussion.
In roundtable discussions will explore topics such as:
Evolving your culture to retain early talent and slow the pace of attrition
The criticality of employer brand in grabbing the attention of GenZ
Redefining early talent programmes to build careers rather than offer placements.
