You could generate a separate invite link that would add each to a specific group (and direct them specific to a topic too). You can find out more about those in [Invite users to a group](https://meta.discourse.org/t/invite-users-to-a-group/15544).

Another way could be to automatically join people to a group on signup using the [Automation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-automation/195773) plugin. With that, you can set it up so selecting an option from a custom field when they create an account would auto-enrol them into a particular group.
