A whole world of possibilities will be laid out for Gunnedah Shire youth tomorrow at the 2022 Gunnedah Youth Expo.
More than 20 exhibitors will be at the Expo, including universities and TAFE, Gunnedah-based businesses and service providers.
The Gunnedah Youth Expo, a joint initiative of Gunnedah Shire Council, Gunnedah Youth Interagency and NSW Youth Week, was visited by more than 250 students last year.
Gunnedah Shire Council Manager of Customer and Community Relations Charlotte Hoddle said the event was an important one for students looking at their pathways for the future.
"The Gunnedah Youth Expo can be an eye-opener for young people who are on the brink of one of the most exciting times of their lives," Ms Hoddle said.
"In one place, they can find information about universities and about how to get started in a huge range of industries, from music to mining.
"It is great to see so many of our local businesses and services get on board to give students a taste just how many options are out there. Students can talk to people who are already working within those industries and, in the case of the TAFE mobile training units, actually get some practical experience.
"The Youth Expo is a free event is for youth aged 12-25, as well as parents or carers. It will be a fun morning, there are giveaways and prizes to be won."
Youth Expo is the highlight event of Youth Week in Gunnedah Shire. The aim of NSW Youth Week is to celebrate young people and the contributions they make to their local communities. NSW Youth Week 2022 will run from 4 -14 April 2022. The theme for 2022 is 'It's up to YOU'th'.
