What's on

The NEBHub George Town Futures Expo 2025 was a resounding success! The George Town Memorial Hall Complex was alive with community spirit as over 600 in attendance that explored opportunities with 50+ exhibitors showcasing the vibrant industries and community initiatives of George Town. We witnessed meaningful connections being made, opening doors to exciting future possabilties.

A huge shoutout to the dedicated Expo Committee and the George Town Youth Impact Council for their unwavering support, both in the lead-up and during the event. Your collaboration with the NEBHub team was absolutely essential. We're incredibly grateful for your partnership! 

The Expo aimed to provide all youth, including those not connected with education or employment services, with access to various career opportunities. Approximately 400 students from eight schools attended, including Port Dalrymple, Star of the Sea, Riverside High, Kings Meadows, Cressy, Deloraine, and the Big Picture School. We also welcomed youth from Thyne House (Youth Supported Accommodation) and home-schooled students. NEBHub covered transportation costs for all schools, except Riverside High, which used its own transport.

Participants explored diverse career pathways across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, automotive, Tasports, Tasrail, and Tas Police, with more than 40 exhibitors offering hands-on and static displays. Attendees had the opportunity to interact with airplane parts, climb inside an Army tank, and operate heavy machinery simulators. For those needing additional support before entering the workforce, exhibits from organisations like Working It Out, Wheels4Work, and Volunteering Tasmania were available. Training organisations also attended to showcase post-high school education pathways.

We also provided a breakout room for workshop presentations, featuring guest speakers from Tasrail, Your Local Motors, the Van Diemans Project, Launceston Legal Centre, and McDonald’s. These sessions were well-attended, and both students and presenters offered positive feedback, finding the workshops valuable.
