For 45 years, the Brisbane Tertiary Studies & Careers Expo (TSXPO) has been Queensland’s leading and most trusted event connecting students with their future pathways. In 2026, we are proud to introduce something new:
An Exclusive Friday program designed exclusively for Year 11 and 12 students.
This dedicated day gives your senior students the opportunity to explore all forms of Tertiary and Career ready options, from Universities and Tafe to training providers, employers, apprenticeships and job ready opportunities, all in one dynamic environment and without the distraction from the other year levels.
Why it matters for your students:
- Year 12’s – Attending just weeks before university applications open, they’ll gain the clarity and confidence needed to make their final decisions.
- Year 11’s – A valuable opportunity to explore study and career options early, giving them a head start on planning for their future.
- For those students who may not be considering university – The expo offers alternative pathways including apprenticeships, vocational training and direct to employment opportunities, all designed to help them become career ready.
