CareerQuip 2025 successfully brought together 65 exhibitors, including universities, training organisations, government agencies, and local businesses. This vibrant event provided a dynamic platform for aspiring individuals to explore future opportunities, connect with industry professionals, and gain valuable insights into their career paths.
CareerQuip is an annual Careers Expo held in Taree. Its aim is to provide students, particularly those from the Mid Coast NSW region, with direct access to a diverse range of study and career opportunities. By bringing together exhibitors from universities, TAFE, government services, and local employers, the event aims to inspire and guide students in exploring various career pathways. CareerQuip also seeks to strengthen community collaboration, supporting the educational and professional aspirations of young people and helping them make informed decisions about their future careers. Ultimately, it strives to empower students to pursue fulfilling and meaningful careers within their local community.
The event was made possible through the generous support of TAFE NSW, who provided the venue following the flooding, ensuring that CareerQuip could proceed as planned. This collaboration underscored the commitment of both organisations to supporting the Mid Coast community and highlighted the importance of community spirit in times of adversity.
The expo was more than just an opportunity to explore career options; it was a celebration of the Mid Coast's potential and a testament to the region's vibrant future. Attendees had the chance to engage with a diverse range of exhibitors, from educational institutions offering pathways to higher education to local businesses providing insights into industry-specific opportunities.
The event's success reflects TUC's mission to create learning and employment opportunities that enhance the vibrancy of the Mid Coast community. By bringing together industry, education, and community leaders, CareerQuip 2025 has reinforced the region's commitment to nurturing local talent and fostering growth.
