This provided me with good insights into the type of career I want to move into following my studies. It also provided me with extra skills and experience to help my employability. It especially allowed me to work on my networking skills and develop meaningful and useful connections.

What is Ignite Connect?
An employer-branded development program delivered by Readygrad to selected students, with employer touchpoints to showcase projects, roles, shared insights, and explain your value proposition.

Connect, attract and influence hard to reach, or highly sought-after graduate talent throughout their university journey.

Create a deeper engagement with targeted students for a more informed understanding of your roles, opportunities, the industry and your company.

Attract graduates to roles that are less popular and hard to fill, and showcase your business culture to students that are not familiar with your company.

Engage with institutions to create stronger partnerships, including those located in regional areas and interstate.
Ignite Connect helps your organisation to influence students' understanding of your value proposition earlier in their career journey
