It is an exclusive, early-access session, open only to pre-registered students. This is to ensure that we keep crowd, activity and noise levels to a minimum, allowing you to navigate the expo more easily and comfortably.

This event provides a chance for employers and recruiters to exhibit and showcase their opportunities to students and is a place for industry to meet their next round of talented graduates.

Most companies and organisations will have applications open for Graduate Programs which students can apply for from March to April, so make sure to check application deadlines before coming along to the event. Visit CareerHub to stay updated on graduate programs and jobs as they are listed.
