The Wave Collective Careers Day is a fresh, interactive event designed to inspire students and open their eyes to the wide range of career pathways available in Hawke’s Bay and beyond. Hosted at Tōmoana Showgrounds, this hands-on experience connects young people directly with industries, employers, and training providers in a fun and engaging environment.

A Different Way to Explore Careers

This isn’t your traditional careers expo. Wave Collective Careers Day is built around interaction, conversation, and discovery, giving students the chance to:

• Meet people working in real jobs across a wide range of industries

• Ask questions and hear first-hand experiences

• Take part in interactive displays and activities

• Learn about education, training, and employment pathways

The focus is on making career exploration approachable, practical, and exciting.
