Visitor profile
Are you looking for new prospects to fill study or training programs, or attract candidates for vacancies within your organisation?
Careers Expo connects you with thousands of motivated individuals, including secondary students, graduates and jobseekers exploring new pathways.
Why May?
May is the peak decision‑making period for secondary students when they begin shaping the framework for their tertiary or vocational pathway options. Students in Years 10–12 are choosing subjects, courses and applications in Term 2, and this expo serves as an information hub, to support them as they navigate their upper-school subject selections.
May also aligns perfectly with the education calendar, coinciding with university open days, mid‑year intakes, early exploration for the next year’s intake and key recruitment campaigns.
It’s perfectly timed for anyone pondering their future, seeking personal development, a career change, looking to upskill, re-train and discover employment opportunities.
Why exhibit?
Careers Expo is a proven marketing channel trusted by organisations across both the private and public sectors.
Live events remain one of the most effective platforms for genuine engagement and Careers Expo consistently delivers strong outcomes for exhibitors of all sizes by creating an environment where real conversations, connections and influence can take place.
