"The event showcases career opportunities from local employers and educates attendees on the skills and education needed to be successful."
TAFE NSW Albury services manager Mark Guiney said young people "often just follow a single path of moving to Melbourne or Sydney" to pursue a career.
"They may be unaware of the great job opportunities available right here locally or within a short trip," he said.
"We want to showcase our local companies as career destinations with great job options.
"This supports our people to live successfully and stay local, which in turn builds a stronger Border community." Businesses such as Westmont Aged Care, Defence Force and Joss will be represented.
