ICT Grad Connect is a practical and engaging way for your organisation to reach undergraduate students before they enter the labour market. It is also a fabulous opportunity to catch up and network with industry colleagues. During pre-dinner drinks and a 3-course dinner, you will have the opportunity to meet 3rd and 4th year IT students from educational institutions across Perth. Given the less formal nature of this event, Grad Connect really affords your organisation the time and opportunity to develop closer relationships, assisting you to make better recruitment decisions. The guest speaker will be well-known Western Australian IT proponent, Adjunct Professor Jim Ellis, who was recently awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his contributions to the industry.
