Calling on businesses, services and organisations for Youth Expo

March 6, 2024

The very successful Gunnedah Youth Expo will return on Thursday, April 11 as part of Youth Week 2024, and Gunnedah Shire Council is calling on businesses, services and organisations to be part of the event.

The Gunnedah Youth Expo, a Gunnedah Shire Council and NSW Youth Week event, has attracted hundreds of young people over the past few years to find out more about their choices for the future.

Gunnedah Shire Council Manager Economy and Growth Susan Frater said the key to the event’s success was the involvement of a large variety of stallholders.

“The Gunnedah Youth Expo offers a rare opportunity for students to see a selection of the range of opportunities that are out there for them – whether they want to pursue further education or are interested in a local apprenticeship or work in one of the service industries,” Ms Frater said.

“We urge as many businesses, services and organisations as possible to contact us to take part. The more options that are on site, the more representative this event will be.

“It is also a great opportunity for employers to find young and enthusiastic potential employees, and chat to them about a career.”

The Gunnedah Youth Expo will be held at Gunnedah Town Hall from 9am to 3pm on Thursday, April 11, 2024. It is a free event for youth aged 12-24 and parents and carers, and features activities and information, with giveaways and prizes to be won.

If you would like to register, please contact Gunnedah Shire Council’s Economy and Growth Team for more information on 6740 2100 or at [email protected]
