Virtual booths are only available for our Business and Law, Engineering and Technology, and Internship and Graduate Career Expos. Virtual spaces are limited, and we will offer these on a first-come first-served basis. Please enquire with the Employer Engagement team for additional information.
Why your organisation should attend
There are heaps of reasons why you should attend our expos, but here’s our top five:
- Stand out as an employer of choice – connect with top talent and put your company front of mind for the students you want to hire
- Build brand awareness – connect with students from a range of disciplines, showcase what your organisation has to offer and what you stand for
- Build a talent pipeline – engage with students from all levels to nurture talent for your internship and graduate opportunities
- Shape better applicants – share information about your recruitment process and how students can stand out
- Support students on their career development journey – offer advice to help them make informed career decisions
