The Trades Fit returns in 2023

Following overwhelming enthusiasm for the inaugural expo from students, schools and industry, The Trades Fit will return in 2023.

Mark your calendar for a bigger and better expo on Wednesday 10 May and Thursday 11 May 2023, the week before National Careers Week. More information will be available soon.

The Trades Fit is an expo hosted by the Department of Education for female and non-binary students in years 9-12.

The expo allows these students to experience exciting career opportunities in traditionally male-dominated fields, through practical learning experiences, technology displays, information sessions and panel discussions.

It provides a comfortable space where students are given interactive experiences across a number of industries including building and construction, electrical engineering, plumbing, automotive and marine, aviation, robotics, mining, agriculture and more.
