On Tuesday 27^th July, Grade 9s attended the Careers Expo at Newstead College. The expo comprised a diverse and comprehensive range of stalls, ranging from current casual employment opportunities to information relating to tertiary pathways.

Students were able to listen to and learn from industry professionals from all sectors of employment within Tasmania. They were encouraged to participate in interactive simulations with the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Arbre Forestry (simulated logging and excavation), drone demonstrations with UTAS, making sample mocktails with the Tasmanian Hospitality Association and viewing specialised ADF machinery and equipment.

It was impressive to see students engaged in conversations and investigating some unknown career pathways - some students were able to make strong connections for future work placements.

We thank Newstead College for hosting such a comprehensive Career Expo and for providing PHS students with an opportunity to visit and explore potential career and life pathways.
