Ngaki Kiore (below, left) and Zyanalee Parata, both 15, of Te Kura Kaupapa Maori O Otepoti School, play with the hair of a mannequin at the Tahatu careers expo at the Edgar Centre yesterday.

The expo was on during the day for those of school age and for a couple of hours last night. The expo had all the major training institutions from Dunedin and afar attending, along with lots of industry sectors from the defence force to police and hairdressing. The expo has been travelling around the country and heads to Palmerston North and Napier later this month.
