Four of our Year 12 classes attended the Careers Out West Expo which was held at The Trusts Arena on Wednesday 21 May. The Expo featured around seventy businesses, tertiary and training providers, who were keen to share their knowledge and expertise with our young people.
Students from various West Auckland and Central Secondary Schools were welcomed from 10am during the day and parents accompanied students for the after-school session which finished at 5.00pm.
Our students had a great time speaking with exhibitors and exploring the large variety of training and career options available.
Some student voices:
"I would recommend this expo as it helps people know what pathways they can take."
"They had stands that made me stop and think."
"I took information away with me so if I want to contact them about a job I can."
"There were so many options there, ones I didn't know about."
Students are bound to find a pathway at this expo.
