Students explore future career plans at expo
Thirty-six students from Pittsworth State High School (PSHS) were searching to find their passion amidst a sea of career possibilities at the Toowoomba Careers Expo last week at the Toowoomba Showgrounds.

Every year, thousands of Australian and International youths and school students, attend career exhibitions to engage directly with experts who can advise them on their future career plans.
Over 45 stall holders including TAFE Queensland, BUSY At Work, the Defence Force, a variety of Universities, Queensland Police Service, and many more, were explored by the Grade 10 PSHS students.
The stalls covered a range of employment and education categories such as information and technology, creative arts, science, defence, tourism and travel, health, teaching, and administration assistance in application processes.
The Toowoomba Careers Expo was open to not only students, but also professionals seeking new opportunities or for those simply curious about the latest trends in education and employment.
It was run by CareersEvent.com who have over thirty years combined experience in the fields of college management, training and development, and career counselling.
The organisation hosts career expos nationwide, with future events scheduled this year in Townsville, Mackay, and Darwin.
