The Careers Expo is back in Manawatū — but this year, it’s got a brand new name. Tahatū Careers Expo NZ – and it’s not just about being seen. It’s about making a real impact.

Why Exhibit?
The businesses that show up are the businesses that shape what’s next. Last year, over 3,330 attendees from 25 schools came through the doors, along with parents, whānau, and career changers. They’re not just looking – they’re choosing. If you want to future-proof your workforce and strengthen your industry, being part of the Expo matters.

Why Attend?
For students, job seekers and career changers, this is where real opportunities begin. Meet employers, ask questions, and start building a career path that’s future-ready. For schools, it's about giving your students real-world insight and stronger career outcomes.

“Events like this are more than just a chance to be visible – they’re a chance to lead. When industry shows up, it opens doors for our young people, strengthens talent pipelines, and helps move our region forward. This is one of the ways we all contribute to a stronger future for Manawatū,” says Greg Bignall, Business Development Manager at Central Economic Development Agency (CEDA).
