Career Expo is a non-profit, voluntary community effort, which began six years ago, to be held annually and jointly organized by the Government and private sector, under the patronage of His Excellency the Minister of Labour. In 2007 it was agreed upon among the concerned parties to move the responsibility of the Career Expo events to be under the umbrella of the National Society for Support of Education & Training (NSSET) with the key support of Ministry of Labour. The National Society for the Support of Education & Training (NSSET) was established and officially incorporated by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs in 2002.
