Try'aTrade - Adelaide

The CareerOne Careers and Employment Expo held on the 25 and 26 June at the Adelaide Showgrounds showcased the biggest ever Try'aTrade stand with 15 trade activities to try out, including bricklaying, electrical, carpentry, auto mechanics, tiling and hairdressing.

Try'aTrade allows people to meet and talk with experts who are recognised as leaders in their trade as well as other apprentices, TAFE SA teachers and local business owners. Over the two days of the Expo, hundreds of young people were able to experience the hands on, interactive and informative displays and gain insights into the skills needed for the various trade areas on show.

Minister for Further Education Jack Snelling said students and young job seekers will be able to try as many as 15 different trades and get some expert career advice.  “Our presence at the Careers and Employment Expo is part of the Government of South Australia’s commitment to ensuring young people are participating in training, learning or work.   

The Adelaide Careers and Employment Expo attracted close to 20,000 visitors over the two days.
