What is the Golden Key Career Connector?

This event connects high-achieving students, graduates and alumni with industry professionals and recruiters in a relaxed and intimate setting.

Who will be attending?

Industry representatives: Professionals, business owners, directors and recruiters from various industries who wish to meet high-calibre students and graduates and aren’t afraid to share their personal career journeys and knowledge with our members. Each organisation will be contacted to have their logo and information published in the Program booklets handed out on the evening.

Golden Key members: Students, graduates and alumni representing the top 15% academic cohort of The University of Adelaide, Flinders University and the University of South Australia across all disciplines, who are motivated and passionate about expanding their networks and career opportunities.

What will happen at the event?

When you arrive and register on the evening, you will receive a personal Golden Key lanyard with your name, organisation/university and industry listed. Industry representatives are free to set up banners, hand out materials and/or roam around the room to speak to members. The evening also includes:

• Complimentary wine, soft drinks, juice and water
• Complimentary finger food
• Keynote presentation about ‘The Power of Networking’ by an industry expert
• Complimentary photo booth to have your professional head shot taken for LinkedIn
• Golden Key goodie bags (for industry representatives)

Why should you attend?

Industry representatives and professionals should attend because:

• You gain exclusive access to meet students, graduates and alumni from the three major universities in Adelaide who are in the top 15% of their peers academically.
• Connect with and recruit the brightest students for your graduate and vacation positions, and attract high-achieving graduates for future positions.
• Our members have a strong emphasis on leadership and giving back to the community, as well as being academically gifted.
• Promote your organisation to our members by bringing your banner, brochures and business cards to the event. Your organisation’s logo, description and opportunities will be published in a hard-copy Program booklet that every attendee will receive.
• Best of all – it’s free!

Golden Key members (students, graduates and alumni) should attend because:

• Mix and mingle with recruiters and professionals from a range of industries.
• Gain personal tips and advice from people from a wide variety of career paths.
• Build and expand your network – whether you are a young undergraduate student or a mature-age professional re-entering the workforce, you can form worthwhile connections for your future career.
• Get more time to speak to each recruiter, instead of fighting with hundreds of other students at a busy Career Expo.
• It’s free – make the most of your Golden Key membership!

What should I wear?

Dress to impress – first impressions count! We recommend attending in business attire. Most industry representatives will come straight from work. Be prepared if you will be having your head shot taken on the evening.

What should I bring?

Industry representatives: Bring your business cards, banner, and any materials you may wish to hand out. Small round cocktail tables will be provided instead of trestles to encourage networking, so please be aware of limited space. Each organisation will be contacted prior to the event to have their logo, description and existing employment, internship or volunteering opportunities published in Program booklets to be handed out on the evening.

Golden Key members: Bring your business cards (if you have some), and come prepared with questions. You will be emailed a list of the organisations attending prior to the event.

How much does the event cost?

This event is complimentary for Golden Key members and industry representatives. Registration is essential (please see the ticket options above) so that we can print out your lanyard. Please assist us by filling in all of your information correctly.
