The ACT Talent Jam is designed to connect you to talented students, so you can hire the skills you need to grow, fast and efficiently.
The ACT Talent Jam is a fast-paced and highly effective speed-interviewing and networking event that connects innovative businesses to smart students for paid jobs and internships.
This curated event matches STEM and 'digital first' student skills with the skills you need. This event is a collaboration between ANU TechLauncher, Canberra Innovation Network, ACT Government and Ribit (CSIRO Data61).
If you’re looking to hire, build your talent pipeline or pay it forward to a future young-professional, come along to this event.
Businesses will be given the opportunity to deliver a 30-second pitch, covering who they are and what they do, before we kick-off one hour of speed interviews (12 x 5min rounds). Following the interviews, an informal networking session provides extra time for everyone to connect before the event concludes.
Early registration is essential to ensure quality matching of student skills to your open roles or future needs and as space is limited. An information package will be sent to you detailing how to prepare for the event.
