Student Services: Careers
Three weeks until our Careers Expo!
It’s hard to believe that we are into the second half of Term One already!! We are very busy putting together our final speakers and exhibitors for Careers Day on March 24th – we hope that our Year 10-12 students will benefit for the opportunities on the day to explore some future options.
CAREERS EXPO MONDAY MARCH 24TH
We are well on the way to confirming all our exhibitors for our Careers Expo. Thanks to families who have already assisted through their networks – we really rely on our wider community to make the day a success.
We are seeking a couple more Industry groups or large businesses to exhibit for the full day at the main expo (9am til 2.30pm). We are also seeking a couple of speakers with an interesting career story (in the industries of law or trades) for our career talks (8.45 – 11.15am)
Please contact Karen.Burgess@nhs.vic.edu.au if you would like to put your hand up for this year or register to assist in future years!!
