Career options: if the cap fits...

New Zealand Police recruitment co-ordinator Acting Sergeant Toni Wall pops a police cap on Otago Polytechnic nursing student Atira Alin during a careers day at The Hub yesterday.

More than 30 businesses, organisations, and recruitment agencies from across New Zealand hosted stalls at the three-hour event.

Both University of Otago and polytech students attended.

Polytech career practitioner Khyla Togia said the event provided the chance to explore multiple career or study paths in one location.

"These businesses are eager to meet and connect with potential employees, providing valuable insights into various roles and offering advice about future career pathways."

Companies at the expo included the Scenic Hotel Group, Fulton Hogan, OceanaGold, Workbridge, Downer, Mercy Hospital, New Zealand Defence Force, Port Otago, and Healthvision Australia.
