STUDENTS from Boort, Wedderburn and East Loddon attended last week’s VCE careers expo in Charlton.
Tertiary Information Service and supported by the North Central LLEN presented the event that featured presentations about all facets of applying for a tertiary placement, followed by a chance to meet with representatives from universities and key industries including agriculture, local government and mining. 
North Central LLEN careers and pathways team leader Jacinta Sutton said the day was a great opportunity for young people to explore potential careers and pathways.
“With more than a dozen universities in attendance, young people were able to have one-on-one conversations about potential university courses or career pathways,” she said.
The expo was part of North Central LLEN’s school-to-work program supporting access to work-based learning opportunities, so students can develop employability skills and make informed career choices.
A barbecue lunch was prepared by the Charlton Lions Club.
