Baroness Floella Benjamin headlines AGR Student Recruitment Conference

The Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) has announced the line-up for the AGR Student Recruitment Conference 2017.

Taking place from 6 to 8 June 2017 in Brighton, the conference will feature Baroness Floella Benjamin OBE, famed for her early TV work and champion of human rights for children and young people throughout the world. She will be sharing her unique perspective on issues such as diversity.

Also in this year’s plenary speaker line-up are respected broadcaster and writer, Simon Fanshaw OBE, who will talk on organisational change, and RSA Chief Executive, Matthew Taylor, who is leading an independent review on behalf of the Prime Minister into how employment practices need to change to keep pace with modern business models.

Motivational speaker and leadership specialist Darius Norell also joins the agenda. Daniel Susskind, a fellow in economics at Balliol College, Oxford University, and co-author of the best-selling book ‘The Future of the Professions’ has been confirmed as closing speaker.

The three-day conference will combine workshops, discussion groups and plenary sessions with networking opportunities. It promises insight, practical solutions and advice to support all those interested in the quality recruitment of early talent globally.

Stephen Isherwood, Chief Executive at the AGR said: “If you are involved in recruiting students then this is the one event that should be in your calendar each year. It brings together employers big and small with universities and suppliers to debate the most pertinent issues and challenges we face today.”
