“With employment opportunities, particularly for young people, becoming ever more competitive, the shire is proud to offer this free one-day expo to assist the community to explore the range of career options available.”

Motivational speaker Sheldon Phillips from ‘I Am Change’ will take to the stage to spark participants’ imagination prior to entering the expo.

He will share his experiences to encourage others as they navigate future study and employment opportunities.

There will be information about training centres, universities, employment agencies, industries and organisations.
