“To the students who have attended this event, I encourage you to reflect on the knowledge and insights you have gained over these four days.”

Those words were quoted from the address of the Chair of the Higher Education Commission – Fiji, Mr Steve Chand as he officially closed the Higher Education Careers Expo 2023.

Mr Chand said that it had been inspiring and heartening to witness the enthusiasm and sheer numbers of students participating in this remarkable event.

” The Career Expo bridges students and institutions where dreams and aspirations can find a direction and purpose, ” Mr Chand described.

More than 4500 students attended this expo.

More than 2000 students attended day 3 of the Careers Expo at Vodafone Arena.

The Higher Education Career Expo has adopted an early intervention approach by extending invitations to primary school students. We firmly believe that initiating career guidance at the primary level is essential.

Primary school students come as far as Wainibuka.

We were thrilled to have these enthusiastic attendees join us at the Higher Education Career Expo 2023 all the way from Lautoka to Suva!

These young gents even brought along a wise elder as their supervisor, showing their commitment to making the most of this incredible opportunity.

While we understand the expo will be coming to the Western Division next year, their choice to attend the event at the prestigious VODAFONE ARENA in Suva speaks volumes about the quality and experience we aim to provide.

The Higher Education Career Expo 2023 was officially opened by the Permanent Secretary for Ministry of Education FIJI, Ms Selina Kuruleca yesterday, Monday 16 October 2023 under the theme “Empowering Your Higher Education Journey to Employment and Entrepreneurship.”

Ms Kuruleca encouraged the students to seize the opportunity to interact, ask questions, and gather as much information as they could to make informed decisions about their future.

“ Embrace diversity, curiosity, and the pursuit of knowledge. Be open to new ideas and unafraid of change,” advised Ms Kuruluca.

The expo would be held for four days.
