Year13 Careers Expo

Finding your dream job has never been easier. The Year13 Expo lets you find a career you’re genuinely passionate about without even having to get out of bed. 

Over the course of the week, you’ll hear from experts, chat with influencers and explore all of your post-school options at our digital careers expo that you can access from anywhere you have internet.

There is also a $10,000 competition running! The Expo will run between 17 – 21 May. For information and to register your place see HERE.

Casual employment

You can sign up for employment opportunities at the following websites:

About 80% of all job vacancies aren’t advertised, so it is crucial that you market yourself to businesses with an excellent résumé and cover letter. 

Make sure you tell as many people as possible that you are looking for work, as often employers rely on ‘word of mouth’ to recruit for their positions. 

Job Seeking Resources

For excellent job seeking tips, and resume/cover letter templates, check out the resources at the following two websites:

Skillsroad - www.skillsroad.com.au  

Youth Central - www.youthcentral.vic.gov.au

Parents – School to Work Resources

Supporting your child in preparing for the world of work after school can be a challenge. Casualisation and globalisation of work force, automation and rapid advances in technology will all have an impact in your child’s navigation of the world of work. 

The Australian Government has developed resources to support parents through their Future Ready Career Education Portal. To access the resources, see HERE.
