About this event

  • 4 hours

Welcome to the Charles Sturt Careers Festival 2024!

The festival is your opportunity to network with leading Australian graduate organisations, Charles Sturt industry partners, and key regional businesses.

Plus, you’ll be inspired by our keynote speakers, get a knowledge boost at the Skill-up Sessions, be snapped at the LinkedIn photo booth, and ask for on-the-spot help at the Resume Rescue booth.

And lunch is on us!

Keynote speaker - James Holbeck

James is a former professional rugby union player who knows a thing or two about resilience, maintaining motivation and striving to be one of life's high achievers!

Injury took this Australian Wallaby #737 out of the game for years, but he persevered to chase his dream. (And did we mention he was also studying psychology at the time?) Today, James helps other professional rugby players with their career development.

(Please be aware that you’ll have to agree to the Careers Festival terms and conditions to attend this event. You can read these T’s and C’s when you register. There will also be photographers capturing each event. If needed, please select ‘Don’t take my photo’ on the registration form)
