Careers Fair/Sponsorship
Careers Fair 2011 – reports were it was a big fail Careers Fair 2012 – Conference took up the gap
left by VCLSS Why have we chosen not to do one?
2011 experience Would substantially repeat WA LSSs events and
may have potentially affected their sponsorship opportunities
Firms were not keen Running a Careers Fair is an extremely expensive
venture (2012 - $28,000)
What value do GDs get out of the Conference?
The Education & Social Justice programme, including the three Australian Legal Education Forums (ALEFs) and Community Day
The Careers programme, including Alternative Careers Forum, Twilight Drinks, the Legal Skills Workshops and the Q&A Session
