Youth empowered to make right career choices
The Re-Imagine Reiger Park Initiative, in collaboration with the Harambe Community, Development and Resource Centre, hosted a Youth Day event on Tuesday, June 16.
More than 400 students received career assessments, education and guidance, along with life skills development opportunities, all conducted in a workshop-like manner.
The Organising committee was Altovise Lawrance (Dstv’s BET SA Top Actor winner 2015), Michaela Le Roux (SA Miss Earth 2015 Finalist), Marvin Du Plessis (Computer trainer at the Harambe Resource centre), Clayton Jacobs (Centre Manager at the Harambe Resource centre) and Brandon Isaacs (Convener Re-Imagine Reiger Park Initiative.)
“We placed a huge emphasis on career guidance this year, as we find that an enormous number of our youth is extremely uninformed about career choices,” said the convener of Re-Imagine Reiger Park, Brandon Isaacs.
Other activities included a wellness clinic and fitness class, dance performances, poetry, arts and cultural activities. – @NalediBoksburg
