About us

The NZAGE is the industry body educating and supporting organisations that currently recruit or develop New Zealand’s early talent (including interns, scholarships and cadets) and those who wish to do so in the future.

The NZAGE is supported by a broad range of organisations, including large and small employers across many industries in both the private and public sectors. The NZAGE also seeks to consult with related associations, including careers advisory services, non-profit bodies and companies which offer services within early talent recruitment and development.

The NZAGE is a not-for-profit incorporated society. It does not receive government funding; rather its activities are entirely supported by funds raised by way of annual subscriptions, events and services provided to the early talent recruitment industry.

The Association is led by a dedicated board and committee of volunteers who donate their time to help manage our member offering. All our board and committee volunteers have ‘day jobs’​ as early talent leaders at one of the NZAGE’s member organisations. This structure gives the NZAGE a unique ability to provide our members and the wider early talent industry with valuable and relevant services.
