The annual Careers Expo is an opportunity for students, teachers, parents, and other people interested in the Northern Territory to explore career opportunities and identify future career pathways.
Exhibitors will be from a range of different industries, training providers, government departments and education organisations from both the NT and interstate. All will have an interactive display stand where you will have an opportunity to discuss career opportunities. Some exhibitors will also carry out a recruitment drive where you will be able to express your interest working for certain companies.
