event description
Each year Summit focuses on one key theme that is of interest to organisations. There will be breakouts, key-note speakers and latest updates from practitioners. Delegates will also hear from our NZAGE Awards Finalists and get the latest insights from the Employer, Graduate and Intern Surveys.
The NZAGE Summit is focused on delivering high quality speakers, facilitators and most importantly, providing employers and those connected with the youth market, critical insights to improve outcomes for your organisations.
This full day event is open to youth employers, suppliers, those interested in establishing graduate programmes in their organisation, tertiary providers or anyone involved in the attracted, selection, development and retention of emerging talent.
The 2019 NZAGE Summit theme is developing and retaining talent in your organisation.
“The NZAGE Summit continues what has been half a decade of successful events! I am very much looking forward to both the Summit and Industry Awards Evening, they are bound to be two fantastic events.”
