“I think the rotation of students between each exhibitor was an excellent idea as it gave them each a great opportunity to speak with every exhibitor that attended, also how it was broken up with fun activities. Students seemed more engaged and weren't afraid to ask questions.” - Yvonne, Apprenticeship Support Australia
"Overwhelmingly well mannered and engaged." - Paul, Productivity Bootcamp
"It was a good chance to engage with small groups of students and have meaningful conversations." - Asha, Western Sydney Airport

ULTRAFADE BY RICH FOUNDER, RICH TRAN
Rich Tran is the innovative director and founder of Ultrafade by Rich, a salon renowned for its expertise in barbering and hairdressing. Rich delivered the key note presentation and captivated the audience with his personal journey, detailing his start in the barbering industry at age 15 and the obstacles and stereotypes he overcame along the way.
In a captivating live demonstration, Rich performed a haircut on Sarkees, a Fairvale High School VET student and an avid admirer of his work. This encounter was transformative for Sarkees, who not only received a complimentary haircut and makeover but also gained invaluable advice and mentorship from his idol, along with a free masterclass in barbering, an opportunity unique to this event.
