Former Origin Greats (FOGS)

The 2010 FOGS Indigenous Employment and Careers Expo is an exciting initiative of FOGS (Former Origin Greats) and the Australian Government. The program provides Indigenous job seekers and school leavers with the opportunity to connect with Queensland’s largest employers, education and training providers in seven Queensland locations in 2010.
