Careers and study expo on Monday

Career and study options will be on the table at Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000 on Monday.

Marlborough Boys' College is hosting the annual careers evening, featuring information stands about tertiary and training institutions from around the country.

Careers and transition manager Peter Kemp said the careers night was open to the whole community, especially those looking for a possible change in their career.

He also said it was important parents came long with their children.

"If a degree costs about $45,000 and the parents are asked to contribute, they need to know where their money is going."

Apprenticeship schemes had also changed significantly in the past few years, which parents might not be aware of, he said.

About 900 people attended last year. In an environment where unemployment is increasingly common, Mr Kemp said it was "more important now than ever" that young people leave school with an edge and demonstrate they have the commitment to what they want to study.

The careers evening runs from 7pm to 9pm.
