Unisa Fair Introduces a Wealth of Career Options to Mpumalanga Learners

The event strived to expose Grades 11 and 12 learners to a wide array of study options offered by various institutions of higher learning. By connecting learners with representatives from universities such as Unisa, Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University, Mpumalanga TVET College, the University of Johannesburg, and Letlole Community College, as well as organisations like the Hawks, the Department of Labour and SAICA, the fair aimed to broaden horizons and inspire future career paths.

Throughout the day, learners had the opportunity to engage directly with representatives, explore course offerings, and gather insights into career paths in law, ICT, nanotechnology, horticulture, community development, education, and more. Workshops, presentations and interactive sessions enriched the learning experience, providing practical information for future decisions.

Dr Bunki Pitsoane, reflects: “The event was indeed a success. It gave learners an opportunity to engage with representatives from institutions of higher learning and get more information on what to expect when they complete Grade 12. The university was afforded an opportunity to reach out to learners who have few resources to access education by taking services to them.”

Open to the public, this annual event empowered learners with knowledge and opportunities, ensuring that every student had the tools to make informed decisions about their future. As the day unfolded, the fair inspired and guided the next generation of leaders, fostering a spirit of community engagement and lifelong learning among its participants.
