As young people begin thinking about their future, the choices available after secondary school can seem both exciting and overwhelming. Our combined Careers Expo provides an excellent opportunity for students and their families to explore the many pathways available and to have meaningful conversations with education providers, employers and industry professionals.

With 38 exhibitors attending, students can gather first-hand information about university study, apprenticeships, vocational training, industry qualifications, employment opportunities, gap year experiences and more. Whether your child already has a clear career goal or is still discovering their interests, there will be something to inspire everyone.
