Bela-Bela pupils lap up career expo
Upwards of 300 pupils and school-leavers from Bela-Bela attended a career expo hosted by the local municipality last Friday 18 May.
Bela-Bela Mayor Jeremiah Ngobeni delivered a motivational speech at the expo, impressing on the participants that several former pupils benefited from previous career expos, finding work locally and elsewhere.
He said the previous success of the expo was precisely the reason why it has since been transformed into an annual event.
He said the expo last Friday was the sixth edition of the initiative.
For the first time since its inception, pupils and school-leavers from Litho High School in Rapotokwane also made an appearance at the event.
Other stakeholders who attended to offer career choice advice were the 100Kids to Varsity initiative, TUT, SAPS, Department of Correctional Services, Nedbank, i-College, Axuveni Computure College, Eskom, Department of Agriculture and Cell C.
Municipal Manager, Michael Makhubela, said it was appropriate for leaners to take advantage of such events.
