At Fusion Graduate Development, we are addressing the holistic needs of Graduates, and we now have Australia’s leading online customised Graduate Portal to complement and support the best Graduate development programs.
Graduate Engagement is the Key
The second cycle of graduate recruitment is well under way, with most applicants having to complete cognitive assessments, video interviews and assessment centres as part of a standard recruitment process. What seems to be a trend across companies is the amount of drop offs of candidates reneging on offers, even if previously accepted.

AAGE 2017
The AAGE Industry Awards have crept up on us quickly, and I cannot believe it is under a month away! The Australian Association of Graduate Employers, or better known as the AAGE, is hosting their awards event this year in Sydney which means Fusion will be having an enjoyable holiday to the Opera House this year.
2017 Graduate Masterclass
Fusion’s 2017 Masterclass series saw some great discussions and sharing of individual experiences and challenges amongst participants. Over forty people attended the Melbourne event, from a range of private/public/large and small organisations, and there were similarly strong numbers in Sydney and Brisbane.
How can you develop leadership within your Graduates?
As we look forward to the changing workforce within 2018, a new generation begins to occupy a large percentage of our everyday working lives, it is a great time to think strategically and prepare our graduates for leadership roles within the future. Millennials and iGen are taking over the workplace, as iGen are born 1996 to present and Millennials are born 1977 to 1995.Read More

Top 5 Industry Trends
Based on thought provoking discussions with some of Australia’s leading Graduate Managers at our recent Australia-wide Masterclass Series we thought it timely to expose the Top 5 Graduate Recruitment & Development trends evolving in our Industry.
Graduate Attraction Strategies
Often graduate employers and managers are so focused on their selection and retention strategies (which, don’t get me wrong, are both critical to the success of any good graduate program) that they can forget their attraction or marketing strategies. As graduate employers, we must ask ourselves: how can we select the best and brightest graduates, if we have failed to ATTRACT them in the first place?
5 facts – What you didn’t know about Graduate Recruitment (in Australia)
There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to graduate programs (recruitment process in particular). A very common example of this is the amount of energy and effort spent on students having a killer cover letter and CV – when really, many employers would shortlist almost solely on the basis of an online application form in the first instance.
