South West Careers Expo a hit at Bunbury Catholic College with career pathways on show

South West students got the chance to explore future career pathways at the 16th annual Careers Expo on Wednesday.

Hosted by Bunbury Catholic College, the free event had more than 2500 people and 21 WA schools in attendance to view the 61 stalls, which provided different career pathway options and ideas.

BCC’s vocational education and training coordinator Michael Downes said the event was a success and included a sensory session for the first time.

“It’s an event where we can pull in kids from all the schools in the region, because otherwise there is nothing unless you travel to Perth and not everybody can do that,” he said.

“It works well to be able to bring not only local businesses, training organisations and TAFEs, but also universities, residential colleges and ******* workplaces from Perth that will come down and support our kids.”

Mr Downes said the event “always gets good, positive feedback” and this year was no exception.

“As the years are going, we’re gaining a greater variety of exhibitors, and I think people are now realising there’s literally something here for everybody,” he said.

“I want it to be not just a school event, but a whole community event.

“I’d love to see in 2026 more community people thinking ‘maybe I could still go to university’.”
