Early Talent in Australia: Building Programs That Deliver Results

Event Information

Australia’s early talent market is evolving quickly. Employers are navigating a more competitive candidate landscape, changing student expectations, and growing pressure to demonstrate measurable outcomes from early talent investments. The question for many teams is no longer whether to engage students earlier; it’s how to design programs that resonate, scale, and convert.

In this employer roundtable, we’ll bring together Forage partners to discuss what’s working across the Australian early talent landscape. We’ll explore how employers are using virtual job simulations, candidate education, targeted activation strategies, and stronger program design to improve reach and support better hiring outcomes.
This session is designed to be practical and peer-led. Come ready to hear how other employers are responding to market shifts and share what you’re seeing in your own candidate pipeline. Participants will leave with actionable ideas for strengthening early talent engagement in the Australian context.
