TRADE & TECH FIT CAREER EXPO
Expression of Interest: Trade & Tech Fit career expo - female and gender diverse
We are seeking expressions of interest in attending the upcoming Trade and Tech Fit career expo. The event is for female and gender diverse people in years 9 to 12 in Victorian secondary schools.
The expo is 100% hands-on, allowing students to design video games, lay bricks, weld, use a flight simulator, program a robot, safety test equipment, use power tools, learn to paint and more. It provides a safe and equitable space where students engage with tradies, apprentices and industry professionals, providing insight into the breadth of career pathways where female and gender diverse people are underrepresented.
Date: Thursday, 9 MayLocation: Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre
Expressions of interest close: Friday 8th March 9am
Students will need to be logged into their school account to access the form, please see Tara in A4 if you are having difficulty accessing the form.
