This thought-provoking and energetic panel focuses on connection to foster life-ready and alumni-ready graduates. Showcasing examples and ideas, this session shows how to support alumni in career preparation, life skills and recognising the value of lifelong connection to their institution of study.
Navigating alumni-ready graduates requires a whole-of-institution approach, to collectively offer networking skills and opportunities for this monumental life transition from students to alumni.
As we continue to expand access to higher education, more we need relatable role models and inspiring career trajectories for and from our alumni community. Participants will leave inspired with strategies to elevate alumni-readiness.
