The Monash University Gippsland Careers Expo will be held on Wednesday, July 30 from 12noon to 2.30pm in the Student Union Lounge at the Gippsland Campus.

The Careers Expo is run for students currently studying at the Gippsland Campus and benefits both students and local companies with students becoming more aware of subjects relevant to local career employment opportunities, and employers being able to speak to students in all year levels and Faculties across the Campus.

Companies from across Gippsland have increasingly taken this opportunity to have a visual presence at the Careers Expo, to advertise their Graduate Programs, and part time and vacation work which they offer to Monash University students. These companies are also major sponsors of Monash University Gippsland student internships, scholarships, awards and industry visit programs.
