Another Resounding Success For CareerQuip
CareerQuip 2024, the largest careers expo on the Mid Coast NSW, was held on the banks of the Manning River and Taree Universities Campus’s new long-term home. Another remarkable success, local high school students (some in attendance from as far as Kempsey, Port Macquarie, and Bulahdelah) gathered to explore study and career opportunities, with an estimated 1800 students attending the event.
Over seventy exhibitors, including universities, TAFE, government services, and local employers, provided valuable insights and guidance. The enthusiasm of the students, eager to learn about different career pathways, made for an incredibly engaging day. Exhibitors such as the Manning Great Lakes Police team, Manning Base Hospital, and many of the Universities reported a very positive turnout, highlighting the event's success.
