CWCAA FACTS

It was a great day at the CWCAA FACTS (Facts About Careers & Tertiary Studies) day held at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst for senior students in the Central West.  Students had the opportunity to explore the Careers Market to gather information and discuss pathways with many organisations and listen to a UAC ( University Admissions Centre) presentation.
