Thousands of Students Attend Tamworth Careers Expo - Tamworth, NSW
Smart summary
Regional employers and education providers connect with young people to showcase future career opportunities.
Thousands of secondary school students from across the New England North West region are gathering in Tamworth today for the 2026 Tamworth Careers Expo, one of the region's largest education and employment events. Hosted at the Tamworth Regional Entertainment and Conference Centre (TRECC), the expo brings together employers, universities, training organisations and government agencies to help students explore future career pathways.
Students have the opportunity to speak directly with industry representatives, learn about apprenticeships, traineeships, university courses and vocational education, and gain practical advice about employment opportunities available across regional New South Wales.
The event features exhibitors from industries including healthcare, agriculture, mining, engineering, emergency services, education, defence, construction, technology and hospitality. Organisers say exposing students to a broad range of careers helps them make informed decisions about further study and employment after finishing school.
Regional employers are using the expo to address workforce shortages by encouraging young people to consider careers within their local communities. Many organisations are promoting apprenticeships and training programs that allow students to build skills without leaving the region.
Tamworth continues to strengthen its role as a major education and employment hub for inland New South Wales. Events such as the Careers Expo help connect schools, businesses and community organisations while supporting long-term regional economic development.
Students can also participate in interactive displays, demonstrations and information sessions designed to introduce them to modern technologies and workplace environments. Representatives from universities and registered training organisations are available to answer questions about admissions, scholarships and study options.
Community leaders have welcomed the strong participation, noting that investing in young people is essential for supporting regional industries and future economic growth. By helping students understand the range of careers available locally, organisers hope to retain skilled workers within regional communities.
The annual Careers Expo has become an important event on Tamworth's calendar, attracting participants from across the New England region and reinforcing the city's reputation as a centre for education, business and innovation.
