Staughton College Career Expo: A Night of Inspiration and Opportunity
On Thursday 15th May, Staughton College proudly hosted its very own Career Expo, bringing together students, parents, and industry professionals for an evening dedicated to exploring future career pathways.
With the invaluable support of our incredible providers—The University of Melbourne, Swinburne University, Victoria University, Headstart, Busy at Work, Leisure Employment, Youth Projects, Foresite Training and Samantha Tramsek, our VET and VASS Coordinator—the event was a tremendous success. Their time, enthusiasm, and willingness to share insights made a lasting impact on our students, helping them gain a deeper understanding of the opportunities available to them.
Throughout the evening, students engaged in meaningful conversations, received expert advice, and discovered various pathways that align with their passions and aspirations. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from staff, parents/carers, and students highlights the importance of events like these in shaping futures and building confidence in career decision-making.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the organisations involved for their generosity and commitment to student success. Their presence and support made this event a truly inspiring experience.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making the Career Expo such a memorable occasion! We look forward to continuing to provide valuable opportunities for our students.
