The 25th Careers Day Out was a smashing success, with countless rows of vibrant stalls filling DECA Shepparton and more than 3000 students in attendance across the two days.

On Wednesday, May 8, and Thursday, May 9, students explored potential careers through activities, competitions and captivating demonstrations while exhibitors provided insights into the many jobs available in the Goulburn Valley.

With stalls showcasing agriculture, medicine, the arts, engineering and much more, the display of opportunities seemed endless.

The News set up a booth to invite interested students to discover the extensive world of McPherson Media Group, including photography, journalism, social media and more.

Students penned their dream careers and were photographed in a pop-up studio by The News photographer Megan Fisher.
