Benalla Rural City Council was proud to exhibit at last week’s Hands-On Trade Career Expo at Winton Motor Raceway, organised by NE Tracks LLEN (Local Learning and Employment Network).
The event brought together more than 1,500 students from across the Northeast and Goulburn Valley, with a variety of exhibitors offering hands-on experiences to help young people explore career opportunities in a wide range of industries.
Employers from across Northeast Victoria provided interactive displays and real-world activities, giving students valuable insight into the day-to-day work in trades, services, and other career pathways.
Benalla Rural City Mayor, Cr Bernie Hearn said the event plays a vital role in connecting students with future opportunities.
“Events like this help our young people discover their strengths and interests, while also building connections with local industries. It’s a great investment in our region’s future workforce.”
The expo was a day full of learning, exploration, and inspiration – showcasing the value of hands-on learning and the many possibilities available to students across the region.
