Goondiwindi, 16 June 2023 – The Goondiwindi Chamber of Commerce recently organised its annual Goondiwindi Region Careers, Skills, & Opportunities Expo, a highly anticipated event that attracted approximately 500 attendees. Among the participants were local schools, including Boggabilla Central School, Border Rivers Christian College, Goondiwindi State High School, and St Mary’s School.

The Goondiwindi Region is renowned for its abundance of incredible opportunities, whether individuals are seeking their first job, an apprenticeship, a career change, or simply looking to enhance their skills. The expo catered to job seekers of all ages, ranging from students and school leavers to those re-entering the workforce searching for fresh inspiration or a new career path.
With the primary aim of connecting attendees with career options in their community and guiding them on the path to success, the expo featured a diverse range of training and education organisations as exhibitors. These organisations provided valuable resources to help job seekers discover and navigate their desired career paths effectively.
The event also served as a platform to support local employers, many of whom have faced challenges filling vacant positions with skilled workers.

It aimed to inspire attendees, empower them with knowledge and resources, and bridge the gap between job seekers and employers.
Throughout the expo, attendees could engage with representatives from various industries, explore different career paths, and learn about the skills and qualifications required for their desired professions. The event fostered an environment of collaboration and networking, enabling attendees to make valuable connections within their fields of interest.
Local businesses and sponsors played a crucial role in the success of the expo. Their support not only ensured the smooth execution of the event but also demonstrated their commitment to the growth and prosperity of the Goondiwindi Region. By actively participating in the expo, these businesses showcased the diverse range of opportunities available and highlighted their ongoing need for skilled workers.
