Virtual Careers Expo

Wrap Up!

The Virtual Careers Expo was an innovative and extensive collaboration between Australia’s major tertiary education providers. It was a huge success, with over 20,000 registrations and 13,000 visitors. The Expo was designed to showcase the wide range of options available to students as they prepare for life after school.

Thank you to everyone involved in putting this together. I hope many students took the opportunity to explore all the amazing information that was available. I sure did fill my digital event goodie bag which is all now safely in a folder on my laptop ready to share! All of the exhibitor Webcasts are available and can be viewed at any time via On Demand using your original registration details.

Law Week - 18-24 May

Presented by the Victorian Law Foundation

There’s something for everyone during Law Week this year! Law Week is an annual festival of events which makes learning about the law easy. This year Law Week will look different to last year, but it is going ahead, nonetheless. With webinars, interviews, information sessions, free legal advice, podcasts and plenty more, Law Week makes learning about the law easy for all Victorians. This year, Law Week will take place from Monday 18 - Sunday 24 May.

National Careers Week Fast Track Webinars

During National Careers Week, commencing next Monday 18 May until Friday 22 May, you will have a unique opportunity to hear from 15 experts across a selection of industries.

Students will need to be preregistered for any of the zoom webinars to participate. Please follow the instructions that were posted through Compass on Tuesday 12 May.

Bachelor of Outdoor Leadership at Victoria University

VU's Bachelor of Outdoor Leadership prepares graduates for rewarding work - with a focus on building practical skills and industry connections. VU’s partnership with The Outdoor Education Group (OEG) gives paid internship opportunities for students, who work part-time for the second and third year of their degrees as part of the internship stream. When students graduate, there is an exciting opportunity to apply for a two to three-year full-time contract with OEG.
