From 9am over 800 year 10 students from Shoalhaven high schools will start arriving at the Shoalhaven Campus of University of Wollongong in West Nowra.

There will be over 45 different business stalls for those students to visit on the day, with many offering hands-on and interactive experiences.

Social media will play a big role on Thursday, July 20 at the Shoalhaven Careers Expo at UOW’s Shoalhaven Campus on George Evans Drive.

The university campus is offering free WiFi throughout the morning for expo attendees, so they can easily share their experiences online.

People who post photos and updates online, whether via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Snapchat are encouraged to use the hashtag #shoalcareerexpo. 

The Fairfax Media team will be on site to help students use social media and show them how it is used in modern-day news reporting. 

The crew will also be updating the websites www.southcoastregister.com.au and www.ulladullatimes.com.au live throughout the entire day.

Students and businesses can send their expo selfies to adam.wright@fairfaxmedia.com.au or come visit the team.
