Exhibitors this year are: Palmerston North City Council, Contact Energy, the National Bank, Ravensdown, Landcorp, HRINZ, Xero, NZ College of Chiropractic, the Air Force, Carter Holt Harvey, IEP, Plant & Food Research, Vision Manawatu, BNZ, Mainfreight, the Bio Commerce Centre, Ballance Agri-Nutrients, MetService, Cookie Time, Navy, Intergen, Elders, Massey College of Education, TeachNZ, Sport Manawatu and NZICA.

The Expo runs from 11am-2pm in the Dining Hall. The Career and Employment Service welcomes all students and staff to attend.

In March the Career and Employment Service on the Manawatu and Albany campuses hosted events for accounting firms to promote internship and graduate opportunities to students. KPMG, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, NZICA, AuditNZ, WHK and BDO were among the businesses involved.
