In the hopes of helping locals with looking for employment and career advice, the Scenic Rim Council is hosting a special event, the World of Work Scenic Rim’s Business and Careers Expo.
Next Thursday 18th March, attendees will have the chance to speak with local employers, and access employment opportunities and support services in the Scenic Rim. There will also be an opportunity to learn more about career and training pathways, and apprenticeships and traineeships.
Mayor Greg Christensen said the World of Work expo builds on the successful Scenic Rim Jobs and Skills Fest, which was held in November 2019.
“This event will be bigger than last time, and held at the Beaudesert Showgrounds so employers with larger outdoor displays can be accommodated,” he said. “We’ve already got 25 exhibitors lined up from various industries including healthcare, defence, hospitality, tourism, turf, transport and construction. There’s something for everyone.”
Mayor Christensen also said while the World of Work will have a jobs board of local vacancies, the event was not only designed for job seekers.
“The main objective of the World of Work is to make connections,” he said. “There’s a great range of businesses within the Scenic Rim, and attendees will be able to meet with local employers and understand more about what they do and what types of jobs are available now or in the future.
“This is really important for our young people as they start navigating their future career paths.
“During the course of the day, we are expecting more than 500 senior students from schools across the Scenic Rim.
The event is free, and there’s no need to register. Organisers do ask to record your details on the day as part of the COVID-SAFE Plan for the event.
The World of Work Scenic Rim Business and Careers Expo will be running from 10.30am Thursday 18th March, at Beaudesert Showgrounds.
