MSD and the Connected service have joined forces with the South Taranaki District Council, Witt Te Pūkenga, Te Heru-Māpara (formerly FEATs), Learner Me and local employers to host the event.
South Taranaki District Council is backing the event with district Mayor Phil Nixon encouraging people to turn up.
“Young people I meet often say to me they’re not sure what they want to do as a career. This is a great opportunity for people of all ages to get a taste of the different options out there, with interactive displays, some hands-on experience and supportive representatives available to ask advice and answer questions.”
There will be training and education providers who can discuss apprenticeships, courses, and other pathways to employment.
A QR code will enable people to register for prizes on their way in.
There will be food, giveaways, and virtual reality headsets available for people to simulate actual tasks and get a flavour of work in different industries.
The industries in attendance include hospitality / retail, farming, construction, civil infrastructure, engineering, green energy, defence, police and many more.
