Registrations for stallholders wanting to participate in next month's Early Childhood Careers Expo close on Thursday.
The expo is a not-for-profit event supported by Baw Baw Shire which aims to provide an opportunity for community members to explore qualification requirements and different career pathways into the early years sector.
Attendees will have access to a broad range of businesses from across the shire affiliated with early years education.
This year's expo will be held on Tuesday, May 27 at the West Gippsland Arts Centre in Warragul.
Mayor Danny Goss is encouraging local early years organisations to get behind the expo and book in a free stall, following the success of the inaugural expo held last year.
"As Baw Baw Shire's population continues to grow, so does the need for more early years services and qualified professionals in these areas.
"Last year we held the first expo which was an enormous success with positive feedback from both attendees and stallholders. Council is committed to supporting our growing early childhood sector and know this expo will go a long way in connecting people to potential employment and other opportunities in the field," he said.
To register for a free stall at the expo, organisations can fill in an online expression of interest form via the link on council's website: Baw Baw Shire Council's Early Childhood Career Expo 2025
