Careers Expo – exhibitor

The Porirua Careers Expo showcases a wide range of career and education pathways to attendees, inspiring them into careers that ultimately lifts the economic prospects of all people in Porirua. Some stallholders also promote roles they have available for jobseekers on the day.

There is no charge for stallholders, however, we ask that all stallholders use the resources and funding available to make their stall as engaging, inspiring and interactive as possible – ultimately this will ensure a successful outcome for stallholders, participants and our wider community.
