Thursday 30 July 2026 • Taree Universities Campus welcomed back the Mid Coast's most promising young talent for CareerQuip 2026 — another highly successful edition of our region's flagship career and education expo. The TAFE Taree Campus venue played host to approximately 1,200 students across the day, with participants arriving from 23 schools and training centres throughout the Mid Coast region.

CareerQuip 2025, the Mid Coast's premier careers expo, successfully returned on Thursday, 31 July, at the TAFE Taree Campus. This year's event marked a significant milestone as it showcased the resilience and adaptability of the Mid Coast community in the wake of the May flooding disaster.

TUC is proud to announce the University of New England (UNE) as a Major Sponsor for CareerQuip 2025, reinforcing a long-standing partnership and shared commitment to creating meaningful education and employment pathways for MidCoast locals.

Taree Universities Campus hosted CareerQuip 2024, the largest careers expo on the Mid Coast, bringing together 1800 students and over seventy exhibitors. Held at TUC's new home, the event offered invaluable career insights and showcased the power of community collaboration.

After the massive success of CareerQuip 2023 planning is underway for the 2024 event to return to Fotheringham Park and the Taree Universities Campus by the Manning River on the 1st August from 9am to 2pm.

July 27 at the Manning River Rowing Club provides a day of opportunities for Mid Coast locals to explore career options. From 8 am to 3 pm, the event promises to be an unparalleled opportunity for the 1660 school students that have registered to attend to explore their potential career paths and gain valuable insights from over 60 leading exhibitors.

CareerQuip 2023 is bringing opportunities for Mid Coast locals to explore career options with the return of CareerQuip on July 27th and organizers are pleased to advise exhibitor registrations are now open. 

CareerQuip: something new for '22

CareerQuip is set to open the gates to over 2000 students and the general public on Thursday July 28.

This event is the first of its kind for the Mid Coast region and was born as a response to COVID style restrictions and a genuine desire to involve community. The 2022 Lower North Coast Careers Expo will move beyond the school environment to become CareerQuip, offering a genuine learning experience for the students of the Mid Coast.
