The community understands the challenges ‘new recruits’ may be facing and this initiative provides a valuable resource for them.”
The community brings together young professionals in order to leverage their experience and perspectives for the benefit of the profession. Working with Colgate, the Advocates’ articles will be published on www.colgateprofessional.com.au and shared via the Advocates’ social channels.
