Butler was proud to be an exhibitor at the Ballarat Jobs & Training Expo!

It was a fantastic day connecting with the Ballarat and surrounding community, with over 14 schools, hundreds of students and job seekers, and more than 45 exhibitors and organisations all coming together to share knowledge on breaking into different industries.

A special mention to our own Jack Reid, who was invited to speak on the panel "What Employers Are Looking for in 2026: The Truth About Getting Hired." The audience was so engaged, with so many great questions, that the session ran well over time, but it was well worth it for the value shared.

Thank you to the organisers for putting together such a productive event, and to everyone who stopped by our stand to chat. We loved being part of it and look forward to next year!
