New career site to launch at new career expo

The Star Workplace Expo will offer high school and tertiary graduates resources about the work environment, as well as the current state of their chosen industries. Those already on the career path who are actively seeking to re-skill or acquire new skills within their current profession should find the expo a good networking environment.

Flagship exhibitors will be the Gauteng Department of Education, University of Johannesburg, Vodacom and the Shoprite Group. The expo will ensure that diverse sectors of the employment sphere are represented.

“We are proud to have the Quadriplegic Association of South Africa and Skyward Employment participating in this expo. People with disabilities are a significant part of the workplace and they will benefit greatly from the presence of these two organisations,” says Michael Berger, PenQuin special projects account director.

Visitors to the expo will be able to upload their CVs to the new career site's database, which will be regularly scouted by registered companies. As an extra bonus, visitors who upload their details before the expo will receive free entry to the venue.

Entry fees: R30 for general public; free entry for learners under 18 and student card holders. For more information, go to www.workplaceexpo.co.za.
