Chamber and Community Events 2011

The Careers Expo is organised and delivered by local businesses; The Daily Examiner, Grafton TAFE, Youth Directions and Grafton Chamber of Commerce and Industry in order to offer local students and unemployed people the opportunity to develop careers and access up to date career and work advice. It is supported by the attendance of local, regional, state and national businesses, education bodies, training organisations and peak groups.


This years event was held soon after the minor floods in the region, however the day proved fine and was well attended by High and secondary schools students and unemployed people from across the Clarence Valley.  Local Radio LIFE FM broadcast live from the venue, playing music and interviews with the exhibitors.  All proceeds went to the cost of operations and marketing for the event.


These Awards are sponsored by local business and Chambers of Commerce. Entrants, for a fee, complete a detailed business profile and interview.  Awards are made across a broad range of categories, with two major awards for Workplace Safety and Excellent Business Awards, made at a gala evening presentation attended by the wider business community and community leaders.  See the CVBEA website for more information.
