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

Bachelor of Outdoor Leadership at Victoria University
