Flinders\u2019 Careers and Employability Service is hosting annual Joblink Summits during March and April to connect students and recent graduates with industry partners and foster meaningful conversations about future employment and career options.<\/p>\n
The \u2018summit format\u2019 was introduced in 2018, replacing the old-fashioned \u2018career expo\u2019 model, to allow potential employers to address all attendees in a conference-style format before hosting smaller information sessions with interested students.<\/p>\n
Joblink Summits are highly relevant to penultimate and final year students and recent graduates. Staff are asked to encourage students to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to develop connections with employers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe format offers a reduced number of carefully selected industry partners the opportunity to connect with a large number of students and recent graduates, encouraging deeper and more personalised conversations,\u201d says Flinders University Employer Liaison Recruitment\u00a0Coordinator, Philippa Spencer.<\/p>\n
\u201c80% of students who attended the 2018 Summits made a valuable connection with an employer, and industry attendees commented on the improved quality of conversations with students\u201d Ms Spencer says.<\/p>\n
The South Australian Government has signed on again as Major Sponsor of Flinders\u2019 Joblink Summits and will leverage the platform to promote the \u2018I WORK FOR SA\u2019 jobs portal.<\/p>\n
Bookings can be made at CareerHub via OKTA.<\/p>\n
