- The expo took place during National Careers Week, 18-22 May; an annual celebration which promotes the economic, social and personal benefits of career development.
- Subscribers had access to tune into a series of live chats, webinars and online ‘booths’.
With the disruption to Term 2 schooling due to COVID-19, the Year13 Expo was a fantastic opportunity to participate in Australia’s first online careers expo and reach thousands of WA school students to help them understand their future study options.
Our online booth consisted of 61 courses, across all industry areas and provided guests with an overview of the courses as well as fee information, job opportunities and further study options.
The expo was established to assist high school students find a career they’re genuinely passionate about without having to get out of bed. The opportunities to hear from experts, chat with influencers and explore all post-school options at a click of a button were endless.
The major prize winner walked away with $5,000 cash and a mentorship opportunity with one of the influencers.
