Radio pioneer, Gareth Cliff, The Parlotones frontman, Kahn Morbee and leading organisations such as Rand Water, Liberty and South African Airways, are just some of the exciting names at this year's show.
Students will have the opportunity to interact with Gareth Cliff, founder of Cliff Central and Kahn Morbee, lead singer of The Parlotones during their dedicated workshops slots aimed at inspiring students to work hard and reach for their dreams.
"Last year we signed a historic three-year partnership with SABC Education and since then we have been taking Career Indaba to the next level," says Event Director, Tanya Jackman.
Rand Water is this year's platinum sponsor. Education & development practitioner Yvonne Nel explains, "SABC Education Career Indaba is the ideal platform through which Rand Water can make students aware of its initiatives and objectives. Skills development plays a vital role in the organisation, which is why it will be providing students with the opportunity to take up positions in internships, provide bursaries, offer apprentices and graduate development programmes at Career Indaba 2015."
Universities, workshops
The University of South Africa (UNISA), University of Johannesburg (UJ), Technical Vocational Education and Training Colleges and many more education institutions, will be looking for bright young students to recruit.
There will be a two-day workshop programme designed to help students develop the skills needed to support post school and university decision-making. Jackman adds, "This year we have partnered with various companies in order to make sure we have a variety of topics in our workshop programme that will educate and up skill students"
Some of the workshops presented by Careers24.com, BizCommunity and SA Study will cover topics such as CV writing, preparing for an interview and the difference between university and the workplace.
