Bathurst Careers Expo cancelled

MEDIA RELEASE 2 February 2022

The Bathurst Careers Expo, scheduled for 15 February 2022, has been cancelled.

The Expo, set to be held at Charles Sturt University for the first time, was initially scheduled to be held in August 2021, but was postponed until the new year in a hope that COVID restrictions would have eased.

With the return to school, and current restrictions in place until at least the end of February, a decision has been made to cancel the February event and focus on the return of the Careers Expo in its original August timeslot.

Mayor of Bathurst Robert Taylor said in the last week a number of stallholders and schools had contacted Council to withdraw from the event, while Council has also been closely monitoring the current situation.

“Given the high level of interaction between stall holders and expo attendees, the decision has been made to cancel the February event. We will focus on the return of the Careers Expo in its usual August timeslot and we will work with our sponsors, stallholders and schools to deliver an event for students and other job seekers.”

To help those who are currently in the job market, the contact details for each of the stall holders who were going to take part in the February events will be listed on the Bathurst Business Hub website (bathurstbusinesshub.com.au), so they can get in touch for any employment opportunities.

Details on the August 2022 Bathurst Careers Expo will be announced in coming months.
