The Murraylands Careers Expo has been running for 11 years now and is focused on providing universal access and information on a range of life skills, employment, training and career pathways to the community and young people of the Murray Mallee region.

 

It exposes participants to interactive and meaningful information and provides strong local, regional and national information on career pathways, training and employment opportunities.

 

The Murraylands Careers Expo is targeted at senior secondary school students but open to the general community.  Over 1000 students from the Murraylands, Adelaide Hills and surrounding regions attended in 2010.  Schools have incorporated work studies tasks and assignments linked with developing students Personal Learning Plans as part of their participation in the event.   Exhibitors are encouraged to engage students in interactive activities through their displays.

 

We encourage exhibitors from a wide variety of areas

The expo is facilitated by an Organising Committee; each committee member has a responsibility area that they organise within the expo. The committee meets on a monthly basis leading up to the expo to collaborate their ideas, plans and resources.
