Dedicated School Sessions
During the day, the Career Expo will feature sessions for schools. While anyone is welcome to attend during the day, these time slots are designed to give students the opportunity to explore a wide range of career pathways, interact with industry professionals, and gather valuable information to help shape their future.
Schools are encouraged to organise group visits as an excursion. It's a fantastic way for young people to get inspired and start thinking about their next steps after school. To register, simply select the time of day you would like to come and let us know if you need support with transport.
Evening Session
While people are welcome to come during the day, we know this can be tricky for families or parents who work. From 5pm the expo will open up to anyone who wants to attend for another three hours!
We invite young people, families, carers or anyone in the Outer East who wants to learn more about career pathways and meet local industry.
