THIS week, Southern Grampians hosted the first Jobs and Skills Pathways Expo over two days, which presented local job seekers, career changers and students the opportunity to explore pathways available in the region.

The event, held on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Hamilton Performing Arts Centre, had been organised by a committee of local industry representatives who hosted over 30 registered dynamic exhibitors to give attendants the opportunity to find career advice and connect with potential local employers.
