Are you an organisation interested in exhibiting at the 2026 Brimbank Careers Exploration Day? We’d love to hear from you! Please contact Lea Lucas, Event Organiser at 0415 250 324 or lea.lucas@futureconnect.org.au
Ín 2026 we have over 1,700 Brimbank Secondary School students booked in to attend this event and 52 exhibitors will be on board to assist them in looking at the various careers choices available.
Now a flagship annual event organised by Future Connect, the Careers Exploration Day is an important opportunity for students in Years 9–12 to connect directly with industry experts, educators, training providers, employers, and local partners, all under one roof.
In 2026 we will continue our Interactivity theme to encourage hands-on, meaningful conversations, and moments of discovery. Students have the chance to explore career options, gather insights, and build their confidence in shaping their post-school pathways.
Hand Brake Turn will be attending, giving students an opportunity to change the wheel on a car, Harvester College will be hosting a mini try-a-trade session.
The Careers Exploration Day continues to expand each year, with more exhibitors and schools participating to ensure Brimbank’s young people have access to future-focused opportunities.

Resources for Teachers
Feedback from exhibitors at last year’s Brimbank Careers Exploration Day highlighted the need for students to be better prepared for meaningful interactions.
Again this year, Ava Ter, Communication Officer at Future Connect, has developed a mobile-friendly 2026 Brimbank Careers Exploration Student Guide. This resource provides sample questions that students can ask exhibitors, tailored to different industries
The guide will be shared with teachers before the event to support student preparation and enhance engagement on the day. The goal is to ensure a more relevant and valuable experience for students as they explore career opportunities.
