What can you expect from the Expo?
The Expo provides the chance to meet with representatives from various employers and explore the different tertiary education entry pathways on offer specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander job seekers.
The employers in attendance are ready to provide information, answer questions and they’ll have knowledge and experience about career pathways.
As a teacher, parent or carer with First Nations students, why should you attend?
At the Expo, your students will be amongst community, in a safe and supportive environment, which encourages active participation.
If you have students who aren’t so sure, and maybe haven’t thought about life after school and what career options they’re interested in, they will also have a chance to think big, and find out about options for their future career.
FAQ’s
Nothing! It’s absolutley free for you to attend as it’s part of the KARI Foundation’s provision of services to the community. KARI is hopeful Aboriginal students and community will have an opportunity to discover new employment & tertiary education pathways.

KARI was established in 1999 through the creation of KARI Limited, which has long supported the Aboriginal community by designing and delivering quality programming and services. KARI Foundation was created in 2016 as we believe the outcomes of Aboriginal could be further achieved by increased collaboration between state and federal Governments, Corporate Australia and Collective Australia. We strive to offer a continuum of award-winning services that all begin with meaningful community engagement. Our commitment to providing high quality, sustainable services and programs that benefit our community is unwavering.
