Aztech Presents Gunnedah Youth Expo

The Gunnedah Youth Expo is an annual event held at the Gunnedah Town Hall, designed to assist students in Years 10 to 12 in exploring their future career and education options. Organised by the Gunnedah Shire Council, the expo features a diverse array of exhibitors, including local businesses, employers, and tertiary education providers, offering students the opportunity to engage directly with industry professionals and gain insights into potential career paths. The event aims to inspire and inform young people about the various opportunities available to them, both locally and beyond.

In addition to the exhibitors, the Gunnedah Chamber of Commerce contributes to the expo by hosting a Member Job Board, which showcases current employment opportunities, apprenticeships, and traineeships offered by its members. The Chamber also conducts a youth survey to gather feedback on what motivates young people to stay in or return to Gunnedah, helping to shape future strategies for youth engagement and retention in the region.

The Gunnedah Youth Expo serves as a valuable platform for students to connect with potential employers and educational institutions, providing them with the resources and information needed to make informed decisions about their futures. It also allows local businesses and organisations to engage with the next generation of the workforce, fostering a sense of community and collaboration in supporting youth development.
