Careers Expo 2023 – Deakin University
The purpose of this popular annual event is to actively support you as our student members in your final year of study, to successfully launch your optometry careers.
You will receive advice and information on making decisions about employment opportunities and understanding what to look for in employment contracts.
A panel of early career optometrists who have recently made the transition to practice will talk about their experiences moving from study to work. There will be the chance to ask questions and find out what the experience was really like.
Following the presentations, prospective employers will be set up to provide information about the graduate and other employment opportunities. It is an amazing opportunity to network and connect with future employers.
