Unisa Expo Promotes Interest in Careers in Agriculture and Environmental Fields

Participants had the opportunity to interact with representatives from different departments within CAES and also  AgriSETA, gaining valuable insights into available career paths. They also learned about the essential skill sets, knowledge and attitudes required for lifelong career development in these fields.

Gloria Sephula, the lead organiser from the Gauteng Region Counselling and Career Development Unit, declared the event a success. She highlighted the strong support demonstrated by the participating departments and reported enthusiastic feedback from learners. “The learners were excited and eager to learn more about the career options,” she said, noting that the tours of the horticulture centre and the robotics unit were particularly popular. “Going forward, we wish to invite more schools as we have identified a significant need for this type of exposure,” she said.
