Returning to Central Energy Arena, Palmerston North, on Wednesday 19 May 2027, the Tahatū Careers Expo NZ brings together rangatahi exploring career pathways and people looking for future career opportunities together with employers, training providers and industry organisations. 

With thousands of attendees across the country each year, this Expo creates a valuable opportunity for organisations to build awareness, showcase career opportunities and connect with the workforce of tomorrow. Encouraging people to discover local career opportunities and helping businesses engage with emerging talent is an important part of building a stronger regional economy.

At CEDA, we're focused on strengthening the talent in Manawatū to support regional job growth. Events like Tahatū Careers Expo help make those connections happen.
