By popular demand, our Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Construction (STEMC) Careers Day is returning in 2025.
About the event
The STEMC Careers Day is a free event connecting high school students with real STEMC teams and projects from across Transport for NSW and its agencies.
The event will take place on Wednesday 11 June 2025 at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, and is run by Transport for NSW in collaboration with the NSW Department of Education.
Our teams will answer questions and provide insights into real Transport projects, roles, entry-level programs and career pathways to encourage students to consider the many opportunities available in STEMC and with Transport.
This is a great opportunity for students and career advisors to delve deeper into the world of STEMC, make valuable connections with people working in the field, and learn more about Transport’s many early career options.
Schools interested in attending the event should complete all required fields and submit any necessary information to confirm your school's participation. Be sure to submit your application as soon as possible, as spaces are limited, and attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis. After submitting the application form, you’ll receive a confirmation email.
Further information
Closer to the event we will update you with additional details and instructions on preparing your students for the event, including:
Collateral for promoting the event in your school with teachers and on notice boards
Information on safety measures and protocols in place for a safe experience
Details of critical event details, including transportation guidelines, arrival times, and on-site support
Students will be provided with a comprehensive event guide to help them get the most out of the day (view the 2024 STEMC Careers Day Student Guide)
