East Rand Career Expo 2015 Proposal
East Rand Career Expo 2015 Proposal
The career expo will be different from others. It will be unique. There will be different sectors and
departments. There will be a sector for the grade9s where they will be given more information about
choosing suitable subjects for themselves. Different brochures will be given and psychometric tests will be
conducted. One-on-one discussions will take place and many more.
There will be another sector for the Grade12s where the main focus will be at. There will be different
speakers, from professionals who are doing the actual work, the students studying different courses and
even the lectures teaching at tertiary institutions to give more information to the grade12s. Due to many
disadvantaged students not having money to travel to universities or to apply, application forms from
different universities will be provided and those who are in real need but perform well at school and who
meet certain criteria, their applications fees will be sponsored. NSFAS forms and other bursary forms will be
given to them so to secure funding for themselves. Also the aim for BYG is to be able to spot a minimum of
three learners that will be sponsored for their first years from that career expo.
There will be another sector for the tertiary students who are not sure if they chose the right career choices,
where they will be advised by career guidance on different careers within their course that they can pursue
instead of quitting. E.g. most students who are studying Mining Engineering think that they will only go
underground for many years before becoming managers. This is because not much information is given
concerning such fields. So this as a result make other students quit after hearing about the mines, which in
most cases it is not true, as there are so many careers within the mining sector that they will be happy at.
This career expo will eliminate such things and even increase the confidence of the students.
BYG does not only look at one direction, it always gives everyone a chance. This career expo will be also
opened to those who are unemployed yet have grade12s and those who have not finished matric. There are
many FETs colleges but some youngsters still think that they are meant for those who finished school yet
they are for those who have grade9 as well. So such information will be laid bare on the expo for those who
were not sure and more information will be given about the courses offered. For those who are unemployed
yet have grdae12 and due to many reasons such as not getting a university admission will be told more about
learnership programmes, skills training development from other companies and many more. This will also
give them an opportunity to be better citizens and improve their lives.
It will be opened for those who are also working but want to further their studies an opportunity to learn
more about different careers. And the greatest part is that, there will be also a sector for those who are
interested in opening their businesses. More information about starting their own businesses and how to be
funded will be provided and forms on such information will be given to be filled. BYG will also again, sponsor
three business ideas that meet certain criteria and that are aimed at creating more jobs with registration fee
at CIPC, assist in obtaining BBBEE certificate, filling of tax forms, entrepreneurial skills training, business
plan, designing of logos and website, office space and other supporting structures.
There will be give-aways, brain tease quiz competition, lots of fun included in the learning to make this expo
a memorable one to many. The aim is to change lives and instil the attitude of school is amazing to the
youth. And many more other things will be happening.
