Lower North Shore Careers Expo on Monday!
Looking forward to seeing you at the big event on Monday, where you can explore courses with Exhibitors and talk to alumni in our Human Library!
Career Expos are incredibly valuable events for students to explore, ignite curiosities and spark conversations; however, some can find it overwhelming. To mitigate this, it is important that students go with a plan:
- Be familiar with who will be at the Expo in both the Exhibitor section and the Human Library.
- Highlight five to six exhibitors to visit and alumni to talk to in the Human Library.
- Draft some questions using the prompts below.
- Collate the information gathered into your Career Plan on OneNote.
The exhibitor section includes over 50 Exhibitors on Courts 2 and 3, which include universities such as the University of Sydney, UNSW, UTS, ANU, Macquarie University, UNE, Newcastle University, CSU, as well as UAC, TAFE, Consulate of Canada, Education USA, Australian Defence, NSW Police, KPMG, PwC, Chartered Accountants, Engineers Australia, Letz Live Gap Years, and American Summer Camps, to name a few. Please see the full exhibitor list and map below.
