Indigenous Employment and Career Expos

The 2010 FOGS Indigenous Employment and Careers Expos, presented by the Australian Government are set to provide Indigenous job seekers and school leavers throughout Queensland with the opportunity to connect with a selection of Queensland’s most prominent employers, education and training providers, together with a host of former State of Origin heroes, in one place for one day.

Supported by Construction Skills Queensland, Indigenous job seekers and school leavers will have the opportunity to talk with exhibitors in a relaxed environment about career, education and training opportunities available in a wide range of industries and personally meet a host of current and former Queensland State of Origin Greats.
