First ever Berwick careers expo a hit

6 August 2008

More than 1000 students and 21 organisations participated in the inaugural Berwick careers expo.

The inaugural Berwick campus careers expo, held on 24 July, has been hailed a success with more than 1000 students and 21 organisations participating.

The expo was designed to help students increase their awareness of employment opportunities in their field of study to help them make informed subject selections and build the confidence to be proactive in the job market.

Representatives from some of Australia's leading employers were on hand to discuss career paths and graduate opportunities within their organisations.

Employment and Career Development Careers Education Consultant Lisa Schilling said students from most Monash campuses attended the event, which was beneficial for both employers and students.

"Students gained insight into the employment opportunities in their particular field of study while employers were exposed to the specialised, talented students we have here at Monash," Ms Schilling said.

"Positive feedback was received from both employers and students."

"The expo was so successful, we are already planning next year's event!"

Monash Employment and Career Development will be hosting several other careers fairs and expos in 2008.
