Career Education- Career Expos
With the support of the Dalby BEST (Bringing Employers & Schools Together) Group and the Career Development Team at the College, planning and organising for this year's Careers Expo is taking shape. After the success of the 2023 Dalby Careers Expo at the PCYC, the Dalby BEST group has assigned OLSCC to organise this career education event. Career Expos are an opportunity for students to assess their options and seek answers to the information they require to make the best choice of career in the future. As a part of a person’s lifelong learning, Bond University explain that Career Expos are an excellent opportunity for young people to connect with Education Institutions and Industry to discuss their strengths and weaknesses. It is also an opportunity for students to explore what is important to them and to be able to discuss their values and interests with industry and education institutions. As the Dalby Careers Expo is an annual community event, we look forward to providing all Dalby and surrounding regional students from year 9 to 12 an opportunity to discuss their career options with exhibitors who attend the event on Friday 19th of July at the Dalby PCYC.
