Africa’s largest
gathering of students and parents.
The Student Expo is
the only exhibition aimed at students, school-leavers as well as graduates and
even parents. It offers potential students and decision makers a 360 degree
view of student life, covering the most important aspects, by bringing together
key organisations within the tertiary, financial, transportation,
accommodation, skills development and training arena.
The Student Expo is
a very beneficial platform for high school students, who have not yet decided
which path to take in terms of their future careers as well as what study
choices they have.
After taking place in
July in Johannesburg, the Expo will move to KZN where it will take place in
August at Hillcrest Corner.
The Student Expo
was designed to guide, direct and open up a broad range of future possibilities
that students could consider. Scholars preparing to begin their journey into
tertiary education will have the opportunity to gain a better insight into what
they are able to study and where. Further to that, an understanding of what
student life entails as well as the social and sporting aspect of tertiary
education is highlighted. They are able to explore options presented by a range
of universities and learn how to secure loans, transportation options and
manage their finances whilst living out of home.
Students have the
prospect of meeting influential industry leaders and view presentations by
tertiary institutions. All of this will assist in gaining insight into the
programmes available, as well as where their future careers may lead them.
Psychometric testing is recommended, giving students a better idea of what
careers suit their personality type. All of this essentially may direct them in
making the correct decisions and understanding what would be expected of them
in each profession. Accommodation options will be available for students to
consider.
Existing and new students
will be provided with suggestions on further study options and possible
recruitment opportunities locally and internationally. Assistance on putting
together a professional CV and learning interview skills will also be
accessible.
Parents are able to
get more clarity from different universities as well as colleges enabling them
to support their children in making major life decisions. Not only is this expo
for the students, but also for working people who missed an opportunity in the
past. Anyone else considering a career change, an enhancement of an existing
career or those wanting to take extra mural evening classes will also benefit
greatly.
Student Expo will
take place at Hillcrest Corner from August 29 to 30 from 09h00 to 18h00. Entrance
is free.
