Whanganui's secondary school students will be putting plenty of thought into their future careers this week, as a series of career expos arrive in Whanganui.
On Monday, a number of local businesses and workplaces will help Whanganui High School's Year 10 students get a taste of working life with a workplace "tester day". Students will be split into groups, and each group will visit several workplaces for the day.
Each group will have a different focus, from hair and beauty, to engineering and manufacturing, and agriculture.
