Career Indaba SABC Education is back and it's better than ever before

Career Indaba SABC Education has attracted the support of Anglo American, Auditor General South Africa and Allan Gray which is just a few top corporate companies who will be attending Career Indaba this year at the Sandton Convention Centre from 19-20 May. Career Indaba is aimed at South Africa's youth, to which entry is free.

Creating opportunity

Career Indaba's event director Tanya Jackman explains. "There are a multitude of opportunities for learners of all academic capabilities and financial backgrounds to pursue their dream of international travel and studying abroad. Our connections in these international universities have told us that South Africa is now becoming a top priority for student acquisition and Career Indaba was identified as the perfect event to partner with to promote their bursaries and scholarships".

She goes on to say. "Career Indaba has made huge strides this year by bringing an international element to the show. Ensuring students that studying abroad is a possible option. This is why it is important to expose South African youth to international possibilities."

With international universities from China, Russia, Japan and America participating in Career Indaba parents are encouraged to accompany their children to meet with these connections face to face.

Encouraging local development

"We want to help learners and young people to take the next step in their education and career development. Career Indaba puts the needs of the student first by presenting them with exciting and relevant local careers and further education options in one location." says Tanya.

Top South African universities and employers will be looking for bright young students to recruit. Tanya further explains "What better way to prepare for your academic or working future than to get advice from the experts themselves? Our Interactive Zone offers that personal engagement whereby students can speak directly with some truly inspirational individuals and walk away with tangible learnings that will benefit them instantly."

Students have access to all the answers they might be looking for from top corporates, universities and employers.
