CareerQuip is the Mid Coast’s premier careers expo, bringing together an incredible range of opportunities to help local residents take the next step towards a bright future. Whether you're a student exploring your options, a job seeker looking to kickstart your career, or someone ready to upskill and chase your dreams, CareerQuip is the place to be!

It is hosted at the Taree Universities Campus in collaboration with a fantastic array of local organisations, including TAFE NSW, Mid Coast Connect and REIP. This vibrant, one-day event is packed with exhibitors from universities, training organisations, government agencies, local businesses, and community groups—all here to connect you with the resources, advice, and inspiration you need to succeed.

What’s the Goal?

CareerQuip is all about empowering the Mid Coast community by making education, training, and job opportunities accessible close to home. It’s your chance to explore the possibilities, discover new pathways, and connect with professionals who want to see you thrive.

For school students, it’s a day to uncover future careers, meet potential mentors, and dream big. For job seekers, it’s a golden opportunity to meet employers and organisations offering practical support. And for locals, it’s a celebration of what our region has to offer, showing that you don’t have to leave the Mid Coast to build a fulfilling career.

Why It Matters

CareerQuip isn’t just an expo—it’s a launchpad for futures. It’s here to spark ambition, fuel curiosity, and showcase the wealth of opportunities right here in our backyard. By bringing together industry, education, and community in one dynamic event, CareerQuip ensures that every local resident can go further—without going far from home.
