Careers and Employment Expo @ Adelaide Showgrounds

Held annually in May, the Adelaide Showgrounds once again buzzed with excitement as it hosted this free event. As part of a series run across Australia it attracted a diverse crowd of students, parents, graduates, job seekers, and career changers all eager to gather information and advice on their future career paths.

Participating in expos and career days is crucial for HITsa – these events help us stay abreast of industry trends, ensuring that the training we provide remains relevant and up-to-date. Engaging with employers who are the true experts in their fields allows us to develop the most effective training resources for our students. These interactions also enable us to explore various industry pathways, assisting us in recommending the best training courses for prospective students.

The expo provided a fantastic opportunity to connect with a variety of employers and service providers. It was an ideal platform for introducing HITsa Training and Employment to a wider audience and networking with industry peers. The representation across fields such as aged care, disability services, childcare, hospitality and retail was exceptional.

Involvement in community expos offer invaluable opportunities to meet potential students face-to-face. Direct interaction at these events is the best way to connect with and support future students, helping them navigate their educational and career journeys.

HITsa’s Work Placement Coordinator

Jeanette is the Work Placement Coordinator for HITsa Training and Employment.

You will find her based at the HITsa Salisbury Site, you may have the pleasure of meeting her as she travels across our various sites to meet with students to discuss work placement requirements and opportunities.

Jeanette is at the forefront of our efforts to provide valuable work experiences for our students. Working closely with both our students and industry partners to facilitate placements that align with a students individual needs.

She has a passion for connecting students with meaningful work and empowers our students throughout their journey.  Jeanette says, “believe in yourself, your capabilities and don’t be afraid to ask questions – and it’s OK to be nervous”.

Most HITsa students undertaking a work placement are new to the industry but by the time they complete their placement, their confidence skyrockets!

It’s awesome hearing the stories and seeing the excitement when a student communicates that they have been given an offer of employment.
