The South Burnett Careers Market attracted at least 950 registered students to the TAFE Queensland South West’s Kingaroy campus on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The annual event, which was expanded this year to formally include Year 9 students for the first time, took over most of the TAFE complex.<\/p>\n

There was also a new layout and more rooms for the students to explore.<\/p>\n

TAFE Business Development Officer Rob Fitz-Herbert said the decision to expand to Year 9 students allowed Wondai P-9, Yarraman P-9 and St John’s students to take part for the first time.<\/p>\n

Other students were from St Mary’s Catholic College, Burnett State College (Gayndah), Goomeri P-10 and Kingaroy, Nanango and Murgon State high schools.<\/p>\n

There were also a few younger students from some of these schools.<\/p>\n

Extra students meant extra organisation, and students studying Events Management at the Toowoomba campus came across to help.<\/p>\n

Mr Fitz-Herbert said the day had been “tremendous”.<\/p>\n

Students had the opportunity to learn more about a range of future career choices, try their hand at a few new skills and talk to representatives from major local employers, employment agencies, TAFE and universities.<\/p>\n
