Western Riverina Careers Expo

Last week Grow Our Own attended and sponsored the Western Riverina Careers Expo at Leeton High School. The expo, which has been held annually since 2012, was an opportunity to showcase Grow Our Own, our industry partners and the diverse career opportunities available in the Riverina.

We were able to actively engage with over 200 students who, along with showing an interest in local careers, shared their career dreams with us! Aspirations covered a wide range of careers paths including (but not limited to): Nursing, Allied Health, Social Work & Child Protective Services; Aviation, Defence, IT & Programming; Marine Biology, Dentistry, Hospitality & Beauty; Teaching, Acting, Interior Design & Photography; Farming, Electrical, Engineering & Manufacturing.

The Grow Our Own Team had a wonderful time and wanted to thank Nadine Goring and Leeton High School for executing such a fantastic event. The expo provided an opportunity for over 1,000 students (aged 15 – 18) from 11 Western Riverina high schools to connect with tertiary institutions, training providers, employers, and government organisations. We look forward to next year!
