Brisbane Careers and Employment Expo

The Brisbane Careers and Employment Expo is on this week from Friday 20 to Saturday 21 May 2022 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, South Bank. 

 

It is a leading careers, training and education event in Queensland, that provides the opportunity for students and job seekers of all ages to connect with organisations for guidance, clarity and opportunities in relation to career options. Best of all, entry is free.

Getting The Most Out Of An Expo

The purpose of attending a career expo, both online and in-person, is to give you an opportunity to explore your future options in employment, training or higher education. A career expo offers a unique opportunity as it has a broad range of information in the same place and the same time. Also, you can gather hard copy or online brochures as well as get accurate, up-to-date information from representatives who can answer your questions. 

 

To get the most out of a career expo, you need to do some preparation. Firstly, go onto the expo website to find out about:

  • The exhibitors - industries, organisations, universities, colleges, TAFE and employers who will have a stand at the expo
  • Activities - some expos have activities such as 'Try-a-Trade'
  • Seminars or workshops
  • Competitions – some expos use these as a drawcard for people to attend.

Make a list of the exhibitors, activities and seminars/workshops you want to visit and timetable your visit so you can get around everyone. List the information you are looking for and the questions you want to be answered. Most expos have a map of exhibitors (where their stands are located on the expo site). Use this to get around the expo and you could also look at other exhibitors who you might not have considered previously. After the expo, it's a good idea to review your information and reflect on how this information might influence your future decision making.
