Student expo to be held
A student expo aimed not only at students, but school-leavers, graduates and parents will be held at Greenstone Shopping Centre, Edenvale, from July 24 to 26.
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 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.
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.
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. – @CarmenBoksburg
