The Northern Sydney Institute’s Ryde Campus will open its doors from 30 to 31 August for a showcase of local skills and trades.
The expo invites the public to experience the options available at the Northern Sydney Institute through vocational education. As part of National Skills Week, it will also feature regional WorldSkills competitions, international floral designs, workshops, demonstrations, course information stands, and guided tours of the facilities at Ryde Campus.
Institute Director Kevin Harris said it gives future students, parents and employers the chance to discuss employee and traineeship opportunities.
“The expo will give attendees the opportunity to speak about career pathways with our teachers and industry partners, everything from apprenticeships to diplomas and university degrees,” he said.
“It gives our future students a glimpse of the Institute’s 500 programs on offer and allows them to make an informed decision on how to unlock their potential towards a specific career.”
National Skills Week, now in its third year, will again set out to highlight talent, skills, career pathways, and the value of apprentices and trainees across Australia to the wider public and industry.
“The Ryde celebration will allow the community to see how talented our students are, with Regional WorldSkills competitions and practical demonstrations being held across a broad spectrum of trade areas,” said Mr Harris.
The two-day event is open to anyone interested in gaining information on a diverse range of career paths and a full program of events will be showcased from 9.00am until 5.00pm.
