Armidale differs from most regional centres because it has a long established university, transforming it from a rural town to a sophisticated and cosmopolitan city.
Through the University, TAFE, independent and public schools the city has become a significant centre of education, creating a wider range of jobs and business opportunities than usually found in the regions.
Armidale's strengths lie in its educational, agricultural, retail, government and professional services, and it is these industry sectors that provide vital employment for a significant portion of the local labour force.
