CareerQuip 2025, the Mid Coast's premier careers expo, returned with renewed vigour and purpose, marking a significant milestone in the region's recovery from the devastating floods of May 2025. This year, the event was proudly hosted at the TAFE Taree Campus, a testament to the collaborative spirit and resilience of our community.
The decision to move CareerQuip to the TAFE Taree Campus was in response to the challenges faced by our region in May 2025. TAFE's generous support as our venue host was instrumental in ensuring that the expo could proceed, providing a safe and welcoming environment for attendees and exhibitors alike. This partnership not only underscored the commitment of both organisations to supporting the Mid Coast community but also highlighted the importance of adaptability and cooperation in the face of adversity.
returning exhibiting favourites and exciting additions
With a diverse array of 65 exhibitors, including universities, training organisations, government agencies, and local businesses, CareerQuip 2025 offered a dynamic platform for aspiring individuals to explore future opportunities.
The event's success was further enhanced by the support of key sponsors, including the University of New England (UNE) as our first major sponsor, alongside continued backing from Mid Coast Connect, REIP NSW, TAFE NSW, and generous support from JR Richards & Sons, Men and Women at Work, Insure More @, and MaxFM.
resilient career aspirations
The expo was more than just a gathering of industry professionals and aspiring individuals; it was a celebration of the Mid Coast's resilience and ambition. By bringing together a wide range of stakeholders, CareerQuip 2025 showcased the region's diverse opportunities and fostered connections that will shape the future of our community. The event's focus on collaboration and support was evident in the high levels of engagement and enthusiasm from both exhibitors and attendees.
Taree Universities Campus - the team behind this hugely successful expo - is immensely grateful to TAFE for their generous support and to all our sponsors and exhibitors for their commitment to CareerQuip 2025. This event would not have been possible without the collective efforts of our community, and we are proud to have played a part in empowering the next generation of Mid Coast talent.
As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to our mission of creating learning and employment opportunities that enhance the vibrancy of our community, ensuring that everyone can 'Go Further, Close To Home.'
