Cultural Celebration of Careers & Education Pathways Expo 2011
The Cultural Celebration of Careers and Education Pathways Expo, is aimed at informing Indigenous students in the Goulburn Murray area from Year 7 and up and their families, about the opportunities of education training and employment options available in our local community.
The expo has support from local business, tertiary institutions and training providers, who will provide students with access to a range of various displays, presentations and information about the different courses and pathways into further education, training and employment. Organisations currently supporting this expo are: VAEAI, Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, Ganbina, ASHE, Latrobe University, GOTAFE, Greater Shepparton City Council, Sandhurst Catholic Education Office and Goulburn Murray LLEN.
The day will have a strong focus on celebrating Indigenous culture and will also include guest speakers, performances by Wannik Dance Academy, cultural activities (including local aboriginal history and culture and ASHEletics), free Family Health Checks and a sausage sizzle. This year's MC is well known Indigenous stand up comedian Kevin Kropinyeri.
Last year’s event attracted approximately 150 local Indigenous students from across the Goulburn Murray area, with 50 exhibitors presenting, which we are hoping to attract at this year’s event.
This event will be held at McIntosh Centre, Shepparton Showgrounds on Wednesday 20th July 10:00am – 2:30pm.

LLENs continue to exist to help improve education, training and employment options for young people with an extension of the age range from 15-19 years to 10-19 years. LLENs work particularly to assist those at risk of making poor transitions from compulsory schooling to the next stage of their lives and careers. LLENs continue to be managed by the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD).
