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.

If you’re planning on attending during the day but not with a school, simply select the time block you would like to attend. Attendees will be able to browse stalls at their own pace once they arrive.
