The Bass Coast Jobs and Careers Expo returns to Cowes on September 5, at Berninneit from 9.30am to 1.30pm.

The Expo follows on from the successful event held in Wonthaggi on August 7, which saw attendance figures more than double from 2024.

There is still time for local businesses to register for the expo, via the Bass Coast Shire Council website.

"We would love it if more exhibitors booked in for Cowes," a council spokesperson said.

"They can do so by completing the registration form on our webpage - basscoast.vic.gov.au/jobs-expo."

There's no need for job seekers to register, just turn up on the day.

"Bring along your resume, an open mind and explore the opportunities," said the council spokesperson.
