TRADES FIT EXPO IN MELBOURNE

Weld Australia was excited to be part of the Victorian Government’s Trades Fit expo at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in May. The expo showcased the myriad of rewarding and well-paid career opportunities for young women and non-binary students, providing information and pathways across a range of in demand and emerging industries.

Offering hands-on learning experiences, technology displays, information sessions and panel discussions, the two-day event encouraged students in Year 9 to 12 to explore exciting careers in traditionally maledominated fields.

Bringing together more than 3,000 students and almost 120 schools, the expo featured more than 90 exhibitors including Amazon, Ford, Woolworths and Star of the South – supporting more women to consider taking up a tech or trade career by providing an expo experience that puts them first.

The expo included interactive experiences across building and construction, electrical engineering, plumbing, automotive, transport, marine aviation, robotics, mining, agriculture and clean energy, with students able to try their hand at virtual welding at our exhibition stand.

ADELAIDE CAREERS & EMPLOYMENT EXPO

Weld Australia was pleased to be a part of South Australia’s largest Careers and Employment Expo in May. Held at the Adelaide Showground, the Expo hosted over 130 organisations and employers with career opportunities for all ages.

Weld Australia had a very popular stand in one of the ‘Try A Trade’ interactive zones. As always, our cutting edge welding simulators were a real hit with the crowds; we had school kids lining up to try their hand at welding.

The event was tailored especially for school students, parents, teachers, graduates, job seekers, people looking for courses and workers seeking new training options.

The Expo was packed with free advice, with exhibition stands including free career seminars, tips on how to write a resume, and the opportunity to discover jobs in the defence and space industries.

Careers Expos In Regional Queensland

Over the last month, Weld Australia was involved in a careers expo in regional Queensland, helping promoting welding as a highly successful and exciting career to the next generation of workers.

Adam Coorey (Regional Training Coordinator, Weld Australia) was on-site at a careers expo hosted by TAFE Queensland at their Roma and St George campuses.

Weld Australia’s interactive stand at the Careers Expos proved extremely popular with students. Students were keen to try their hand at welding for the first time using our highly interactive Soldamatic augmented reality simulators.

The Expo in regional south-west Queensland provided regional students with the opportunity to discover the diverse range of careers, education, pathways and employment available across the region.

The event included a range of workshops, demonstrations and talks to provide students with the opportunity to see what the workplace is all about.
