Are you a local employer looking to attract the next generation to the workforce and support young people in the community? 

The 2023 Maroondah Youth Career Expo is tailored to young people seeking pathways to work  as an alternative to university. We are now inviting local employers to participate, offering a unique opportunity for local employers and industry to connect with and support young people in the community while building their businesses.

Why be an industry participant?

• Build awareness of your business: Having a presence in the community not only keeps you in front of mind for job seekers
• Gain a fresh perspective: Young people offer a different perspective that can provide valuable insights on strategy, plans, policies and more.
• Positive publicity: Communities and industries often commend those who provide support to the next generation. The perfect opportunity to take a photo for promotion of your company’s corporate social responsibility.
• Invest in future success: Discover new talent and potential future leaders for your organisation.
• Building awareness of your industry:  Niche industry can often find it harder to find staff due to lack of awareness.

What is required from industry participants?

Participants are expected to commit three hours of their time on the evening of Thursday, 7th September  to set up a booth and engage with the young people of Maroondah  about their business and industry. The venue will provide trestle tables, and participants are welcome to bring their own signage and tablecloths to identify their stalls. There is no cost to have a stall at this event, and participants are requested to arrive no later than 4.00pm to set up their area before attendees arrive. Participants may share materials about their company and broader industry and engage with attendees about any current employment opportunities they may have.

Consider and respond at your earliest convenience, as we have limited spaces, with preference provided to those who confirm their attendance first.
