CHARLEVILLE CAREERS EXPO Weld Australia’s interactive stand at the Careers Expo in Charleville proved extremely popular with students. Students were keen to try their hand at welding for the first time using our highly interactive Soldamatic augmented reality simulators. The Expo in regional south-west Queensland provided regional students with the opportunity to discover the diverse range of careers, education, pathways and employment available across the region. The event included a range of workshops, demonstrations and talks to provide students with the opportunity to engage and interact with local businesses and trades to see what the workplace is all about.
