CAREERS EXPO 2018 CHRISTCHURCH 10-12 MAY - Horncastle Arena Choosing the right career path is not easy! Youth need guidance on transition from school to jobs Thousands of young people attending the Christchurch Careers Expo over the next few days will be looking to their future transition from school into the world of work. This is where the Careers Expo presents an unparalleled opportunity to connect directly with those most able to provide guidance and information needed to make informed choices for the journey ahead. There are skills shortages aplenty in New Zealand. The economy is tracking well, yet statistics show that a lot of young people are still not finding work, with unemployed aged between 15 and 24 at unacceptably high levels. Director of the Careers Expo Mark Gillard, does not believe that these people aren’t interested in work; he believes the problem stems from the crucial transition between school and the workforce. Pointing to international research carried out by the UK’s Employers and Schools Taskforce Mr Gillard explains that there needs to be an increase in interaction between businesses and young people, when young adults are still at school. “Their research entitled “It’s who you meet” found that students from all demographics benefitted from early interaction and engagement with business, being considerably less likely to end up without a job, outside of training or education” . Each year around 160,000 Kiwi secondary school students (years 10-13) make decisions about their careers and life after school, such as where and what to study and what they want to achieve in life. These are huge decisions for young people, and the more information we can provide to help make the best choices at this time the better. Being able to talk to someone ‘on the job’ or from an industry body can help clarify many of the questions that sit around the transition into the work force - What is it really like to work in a particular sector? What are the costs of training? How long will it take and will there be a job for me at the end of my training? Connecting with tertiary training organisations, industry groups and future employers, is so important for young people to do. It is never too early to start thinking about their future and take advantage of the opportunity to connect directly with future employers. The Careers Expo and The World of Work provide the ideal opportunity for young people and their families to scope out the wide range of opportunities that exist, and to talk about future plans.
