Careers Day Out is one of the largest education, training and employment expos in Northern Victoria, with over 1,400 students attending in 2018. This year Careers Day Out is proudly sponsored by La Trobe University and GOTAFE, helping all regional year 10 students to discover their career pathway, further training options or future employment opportunities.
Our exhibitors this year will be providing interactive displays to provide students opportunities to get involved in hands on activities. With a vast range of exhibitors including TAFE’s, Universities, other training providers, industry associations, local industry, employers, employment and support agencies, we are sure the students will not be bored. Oh, and don't forget the Emergency Services scenario display. Watch as Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria, CFA and Search and Rescue demonstrate their roles through an accident scene.
Building on the success of 2018 evening session, Careers Day Out will once again open its doors to everyone searching for the next step in their career journey.
From 4.30pm until 7pm, the focus will shift towards VCE students wanting information about futher study or wanting to find a job, parents looking to re-enter the workforce, the unemployed wanting support to find a job, career changers wanting to follow their dream career and anyone wanting to start their own business. Careers Day Out evening session is for you.
We know the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is hard to get your head around so we will be providing you loads of information to help answer those questions and connecting you to the right support if you need it.
We will also be chatting to:
Wayne Elliott from Netgain regarding the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS) program. This program is designed to assist people who are a job seeker and not in full time education or employment.The program is aimed at researching and exploring all facets of your potential Business idea and putting these into practice.
Also we will chat to a local entrepreneur about how he started his own marketing business right here in the GV.
This year we want to involve the primary and secondary schools in the evening session and have invited them to take part in a number of challenges, testing their skills and creativity with photography, engineering and video competitions. More details to come.......
Shepparton Chamber of Commerce are also helping us create the biggest local jobs board you and I have ever seen. If it's a job you need or you are a business with jobs available, make sure you get along and pin it up on our "Jobs in the GV" jobs board.
There will be food available on the night so bring the family down and explore what the GV has to offer.
