Following last year’s very successful inaugural Indigenous Careers EXPO, The School of Indigenous Studies will be holding the 2011 Indigenous Careers EXPO on Wednesday June 1 from 10am - 3pm in the Undercroft.
All Indigenous students on UWA campus are invited and the School will also be inviting Year 12 students from the metropolitan area.
The aim of the EXPO is for students to see what is available while studying and also on graduation.
Cadetships, Scholarships, Vacation employment, internships and graduate employment will all be advertised by the various government departments (both federal and state), Aboriginal organisations, law firms and legal services as well as mining companies and private industry.
