Students are about to be wowed by Truck Bling

Students are about to be wowed by Truck Bling

New Zealand Trucking Association to take TRUCKS to STUDENTS @ CAREERS EXPO 7th – 9th May at Horncastle Arena in Christchurch.

Career options that are in the Road Transport Industry, that Students may not be aware of will be promoted over the 3 days of the expo.

Students are about to be wowed by truck bling.

WESTERN STAR and MAN trucks will take centre stage inside Horncastle Arena. Students will be able to climb in and get a real feel for what it’s like to be a truck driver. Getting up close to the big rigs will certainly have the WOW factor as many students have never had this opportunity before.

On hand will be CANDRIVE a local Canterbury training organisation who will be able to outline their training programs for students who want to find out more about getting licenses. Candrive will have their training vehicle on site.

Technology is moving fast in the transport industry so INTERNATIONAL TELEMATICS will be on hand to explain their single platform telematics systems for Trucks and Transport Vehicle fleets.

We see this as a wonderful opportunity to facilitate this group of companies and to engage with School’s careers advisors and students at the Careers Expo. A lot of people don’t realise that the opportunities are huge in the industry and that there are many different sector choices and industry choices. Our message will be clear at the expo “Start by just getting your driver’s licence” then get your Class 2, from then on, you’re on your way said Dave Boyce CEO NZ Trucking Association.

EXPO opens Thursday 7th May 9.00am – 3.00pm 5.00pm – 7.00pm
Friday 8th 9.00am – 3.00pm
Saturday 9th 9.00am -3.00pm
