Trade and Tech Fit Expo

The Victorian Education Department knows that more girls and gender diverse kids need to pursue a trade. To help boost uptake, they staged the massive Trade and Tech Fit Expo at the Melbourne Conference and Exhibition Centre on June 3 and 4, 2025.

Over two days, 9000 students met possible employers, tertiary education institions and career paths from the ADF to the SEC. TAFEs, universities, airlines, mining companies, unions, sporting clubs, animation studios, agricutural and engineering businesses, major construction companies and more were are all on tap to broaden student horizons.

Brett de Hoedt emceed the event which saw him interviewing many students and exhibitors live on stage. Lots of improvisation and audience participation. Brett’s idea of fun.
