Job Explore 2025: Career opportunities on show in Whangārei
Te Ora Hou Centre is set to become a hive of employment, education and training opportunities as the Job Explore careers expo makes its way to Whangārei on 18 March.
The expo is being organised by the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) and is designed to link employers and training providers with job seekers and those leaving education. Information is available on Connected.govt.nz.
It’s expected to attract hundreds of attendees with over 50 interactive stalls including Northland Waste, NZ Defence Force, Jobs for Mums and Hato Hone St. John.
MSD Regional Commissioner Graham MacPherson says the event will be a one-stop careers shop with opportunities to meet with support networks, training providers and employers from across industry sectors.
“Work is key to people being able to move forward and we’re committed to doing everything we can to help support people into jobs.”
Community members are welcome to attend from 9.30am – 2pm, with students and school leavers exploring the expo in a mid-afternoon session.
“It will be a fun, interactive way for people of all ages and experience levels to explore all the options available to them,” says MacPherson.
A series of eight mini-workshops hosted by various stallholders will be run throughout the day to showcase different job seeking resources, including a 20-minute session on money management presented by Westpac, and another with Creative Northland on creative problem-solving while job-hunting.
Employers will be at the ready to discuss career progression into a variety of industry sectors, including health care, construction, and infrastructure.
Education and training providers including BCITO, University of Auckland and Work Ready NZ, will be on hand to discuss apprenticeships, courses, and other pathways to employment – including CV creation, interview skills and driver licencing advice.
Virtual Reality (VR) headsets and hands-on exhibits will be available to give people a flavour of work in different industries and showcase industry skills such as Hazard Management, Confined Spaces, Working at Heights and Food Safety and Hygiene.
