• Event Overview: The Sunshine Coast Regional Jobs Committee, working in collaboration with Sunshine Coast Council, Noosa Council & NETA, RDAMBSC and DTET will deliver a Future Careers immersive showcase as the last event in a series to connect our future of pipeline of talent with careers in region.

The preparation, education and engagement of a future workforce for the Sunshine Coast is critical. It will ensure the local economy can be sustained and continue to grow and compete domestically and internationally.

The Future Career showcase will target and engage with students before they start their set planning so we can influence their subject choice and inspire them to look locally when they think of their career path. We want them to see the types of businesses here in region that they wouldn’t get exposed to normally and get excited about how they can join these growing businesses through fun immersive try and chat experiences on the day.

The immersive showcase will be set-up under eight ‘economic pods’ that align to the high value and emerging industries on the Sunshine Coast region & REDS, these include:

• Health Pod: All health and allied health services
• Knowledge Pod: All education, training, research and professional services
• Digital Pod: All IT, screen, film, cyber security and defence
• Production Pod: All aviation & aerospace, food & agribusiness, advanced manufacturing and pharmaceutical
• Green (Net Zero) Pod: All cleantech, circular economy, smart construction, green energy and decarbonisation
• Visitor Pod: All tourism, sports & leisure, experience, major events and international students
• Place-Based Pod: All construction & trades, emergency services, night-tie economy, music and creative and retail & hospitality
• High Performance Sports Pod: All Olympic & Paralympic 2032 and high-performance sports

Each school is offered free buses to the event and back and can do either a morning shift from 9am to 12pm or an afternoon shift from 11am to 2pm (to fit within school hours)

We already have 15 schools interested with approx. 2,000 students attending the event, we only have capacity for double that so be sure to secure your spot!
