2026 Internship and Graduate Expo
Looking to kickstart your career with an internship or secure that post-study graduate role? This expo is your gateway to finding the perfect opportunity.
Why attend the Internship and Graduate Expo?
Seize the moment: This expo is open to students across all faculties and subject areas interested in exploring internship and graduate opportunities.
Internships are a valuable and practical way for you to test different roles and organisations during your studies to help guide your future career path.
Graduate roles can be an important stepping stone to help you transition into the workforce after you've completed your studies.
Explore opportunities: This expo is your chance to explore internships or graduate roles that align with your goals. Organisations at the expo are eager to meet you and discuss your aspirations.

We have a webpage full of tips on how to get the most out of this opportunity and make the best impression on prospective future employers, plus a recording of a 'Preparing for a career expo' workshop.
Regardless of your level of experience with employer events, join us for this interactive workshop to learn what to expect, how to prepare, and how to turn conversations at the expo into meaningful connections.
