Students invited to target a career at council

Published: 24 Jul 2023

Mackay region students can take aim at a career at council at the 2023 Mackay Careers Expo.

Mackay Regional Council will exhibit its career opportunities, as well as programs available for post-school studies, at the expo on Thursday, August 3, at the MECC.

For students not sure of what their future holds, a huge dartboard featuring many of council’s potential careers will be at the exhibit for students to take aim at.

Whatever they hit will open a door to a conversation about that role, with plenty of advice and information on hand.

Mackay Mayor Greg Williamson said the Mackay Careers Expo was an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in seeking future employment advice, whether they knew what they wanted to do or not.

“Council’s exhibit will highlight the many careers available at council, from accounting to events planning and human resources to grave digging – there’s certainly something for everyone,” Mayor Williamson said.

“Our expert team, including staff who began their careers at council as trainees, apprentices and new graduates, will be available to answer questions and provide a pathway into whichever job is of interest.

“Mackay is great place to live and work, and a career with council offers fantastic work/life balance so you can enjoy the very best our region has to offer,” he said.

Visitors can find Mackay Regional Council at Exhibit 62.

The expo is being presented by CareersEvent.com and will feature a number of further education, training and employment providers.
