Adelaide careers and employment expo
On Friday 6th and Saturday 7th May 2022, Master Plumbers SA attended SA’s largest Careers and Employment Expo at the Adelaide Showgrounds. The expo hosted over 120 organisations and employers with career opportunities for all ages. Due to the current high demand for Apprentices in the plumbing industry, Master Plumbers SA recognised the importance of participating in this event and increasing the number of Apprenticeship applications. Attendees at the expo included school students, parents, teachers, graduates, job seekers and workers seeking new career paths. The Master Plumbers SA stand was part of the CITB Construction Careers Hub, which included employers, associations, training providers and industry stakeholders with a focus on the building and construction industry. Field Officers Sam Baulderstone and Brittany Dekuyper, as well as CEO Andrew Clarke and Operations Manager, Gavin Watson did a fantastic job in providing attendees with advice and guidance on starting a career in the plumbing industry. We also included an interactive activity at our display stand, which saw participants use a CCTV camera through pipe to find the message at the bottom, which read “Master Plumbers Apprentices = Success”. We found this was a great way to interact with attendees, in addition to providing an interesting activity for them to participate in. The expo was a fantastic event, and we hope that we were able to assist attendees in choosing the right career path for them, as well as increasing interest in careers in the plumbing industry. We wish to thank the Adelaide Careers and Employment Expo and the CITB for the opportunity to be involved in this event. We also wish to thank CMI Toyota and Milwaukee Tools for their support and merchandise donations.
