MASCA: NEXT GEN 2026: Experience the industry before you enter it.

Job ads and recruitment brochures only tell you so much. NEXT GEN is not your typical career fair. It's a hands-on day where you'll meet the people behind the industries, ask them the real questions, and leave with a clearer idea of where you want to go.

📅 Saturday, 24 October 2026
🕚 11:00 am – 5:00 pm

What's on:
🎤 Industry Panels & Open Q&A. Professionals share their career journeys, industry insights and what they wish they'd known as students.

📸 Professional LinkedIn Headshot Studio. Get a free, high-resolution portrait from a professional photographer.
