Calling all high school students!
Get ready to put your journalistic skills to the test.
As part of the Mackay Careers Expo, Mackay Regional Council will be holding a competition for students to interview the Mayor and CEO and receive a $100 gift card to celebrate!
Mayor Greg Williamson said council was excited to launch this competition to encourage the future leaders of our community to start getting involved in local government.
“The competition is open to all students in years 10 to 12 and it’s not just for students looking to pursue a career in journalism” Mayor Williamson said.
“It’s a great opportunity for students who want to practise their public speaking and interviewing skills and is a great insight into the functions of local government and the career paths available here at council,” he said.
Students can submit their “toughest questions for the Mayor and CEO” as individuals or a group submission, in a written or video format.
If you would like to take up the challenge, head to mackay.qld.gov.au/interviewcomp to submit your entry.
The Mackay Careers Expo will be held at the Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre (MECC) on Thursday, August 15, from 10am to 11am.
Council will once again have a stall at the expo, so drop in to meet the team!
