Suncorp employees have participated in a professional networking event hosted by Multicultural Australia, giving this year’s graduates in its career mentoring program Shape Your Future the chance to build connections.

The program matches newly settled Queenslanders from culturally diverse backgrounds with Suncorp employee mentors who help them gain meaningful work experience and professional connections in the state.

Suncorp EGM Consumer Distribution Chris Fleming says programs like Shape Your Future help promote cultural diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

This year five Suncorp mentors and mentees were paired, completing a range of activities together including CV and LinkedIn development, searching and applying for roles and developing interview skills.
