Each year thousands of students from different schools attend the Careers Expo throughout the country, taking advantage of the opportunity to talk face to face with a range of employers, industry, government departments, and training providers.

On Thursday, 20 May, the ASB Showgrounds in Greenlane was again the home of this year’s Auckland Careers Expo and the destination for a group of Rutherford students keen to explore future career options.

This is a free event that is open to students and the public over three days. Around 50 exhibitors were under one roof eager to provide students with information on the courses they offered, career opportunities and to answer any questions. Students gathered up brochures, free pens and lollies, and spent time doing the numerous fun and interactive activities on offer.

Students came away feeling more informed and enjoyed the opportunity to spend time thinking about their future plans.
