Annual FACTS Day at CSU in Bathurst
4 MAY 2015
The annual Facts About Careers and Tertiary Study (FACTS) Day will be held at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Thursday 7 May. FACTS Day is organised by the Central West Careers Advisers Association to assist Year 12 high schools students from across the central west to explore their future career and employment opportunities. CSU prospective student adviser, Ms Fran Dwyer, said, "Approximately 900 Year 12 students from schools in Bathurst, Kandos, Oberon, Blayney, Cowra, Canowindra, Orange, and Molong will seek information from about 120 representatives of more than 50 career and employer organisations, including universities, private providers, TAFE, Centrelink, police, and other government agencies. FACTS Day provides regional final-year high school students the opportunity to speak with a range of educational providers, and hear a motivational speaker. It is also an opportunity for students to experience Charles Sturt University by attending the campus, which some schools will tour."
