New to the Fair is CareerLinks - your connection to developing a career in the jewellery industry.

You will be able to talk to students and staff from Griffith University and South Bank Institute of Technology about the jewellery courses on offer, and what it's like to study at one of these education institutions. See the student works in the Emerging Talent display.

Joining them will be New Zealand's Peter Minturn Goldsmith School.

Find out how the industry associations can help you with your career. There will be 2 talks on jewellery careers each day:

11am Gemmological Association of Australia Dr Marilyn Healy “Why you should be a gemmologist”   - Explores the ways in which being a gemmologist can assist you in your career

2pm Gem & Jewellery Institute - Accredited education – What is in it for you?

There are limited places available for people not currently employed in the industry who are interested in a career in the industry. Contact our Registration Department by emailing jewelleryfair@expertiseevents.com.au to arrange a pass.
