FREE NETWORKING LUNCH WITH PERTH'S LEADING EMPLOYERS

Dear Student Society Representative, 

I am writing to invite your Society to send a representative to the Perth
SocMeet on Friday March 18th  2011.

 What is SocMeet?

"SocMeet" is a networking meeting which is attended by representatives of
Perth's leading employers and representatives of faculty student societies
from all of the metropolitan universities in WA. It represents an
opportunity for you to promote your Society and the opportunities you have
for employer involvement.

Who Should Attend

We would like to invite your Society to send a suitable representative(s) to
SocMeet on Friday 18th  March. To keep numbers to a manageable level we are
suggesting that each Society sends up to three representatives. Who you send
is entirely up to you - it may be your President, your Sponsorships
Secretary, your Employer Liaison Manager etc.

Who else is being invited?

We have extended an open invitation to all employers in the Perth market to
attend SocMeet so we anticipate a cross section of local and national
employers will be in attendance.

We have also invited representatives of faculty student societies from all
of WA's universities. So there is the prospect that we will have several
similar societies in attendance representing different universities (e.g.  a
number of different Law Societies)

Here are some more details:

What is the Purpose of SocMeet?

The purpose of SocMeet is to build stronger links between employers and
student societies. 

Employers are interested in raising their profile on campus and in
attracting graduates into their workforce. They are particularly interested
in developing strong ties with student societies which represent specific
university faculties.

Some of the issues of importance to student societies are raising funds and
providing their members with access to future employment opportunities. 

Our aim is to bring together employers and student societies at the same
event to understand how both groups may be able to work together for
mutually beneficial outcomes.

We recognise that some student societies already have ties with particular
employers or industry associations. These existing relationships will
continue - SocMeet is an opportunity for everyone to meet everyone else.

SocMeet is being organised by The Australian Association of Graduate
Employers (AAGE).

The Australian Association of Graduate Employers

The Australian Association of Graduate Employers (AAGE) is the peak industry
body representing employers that recruit and develop Australian graduates.
The AAGE is similar to a student society in that we are a not-for-profit
association funded entirely by our membership. In the case of the AAGE, our
members are all employers who share a common interest in attracting,
recruiting and developing graduates.

The AAGE has over 240 member organisations including a range of large,
medium and small employers from both the public and private sector. Our
members are drawn from a range of industries including engineering, mining,
professional services, law, banking, IT, government to name just a few. Our
members regularly recruit graduates from all Australian universities. 

You can find out more information about the AAGE via our website
