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 from both the NT and interstate and education organisations who will develop an interactive display stand where you will have an opportunity to talk and discuss career opportunities. Some exhibitors are also carrying out a recruitment drive where you will be able to express your interest working for certain companies.
