Thousands of learners attended the Breard Foundation exhibition

The Breard Foundation, in partnership with the Ingquza Hill Local Municipality and Lusikisiki District Department of Education, recently held the fifth Heroes Week career expo. The expo was specifically aimed at high school learners. The event forms part of the ‘skilling the nation’ drive. The Heroes Week is celebrated annually in the first semester.

The career expo also aims at providing access to information opportunities and awareness of funding mechanisms available for the youth.

Particular attention is given to the availability of bursary opportunities in government and its state -owned entities. The exhibition took place over four days. Day 1 commenced with the ‘Humanities and Commerce Career Expo. Day two proceeded with the Science Career Expo.

Day three the Business Development Workshop and Day four completed the expo with the Mpondoland Coastal Hike and Sports Day.

King Sabata Dalindyebo TVET College was in attendance and participated by exhibiting the College offerings. We exhibited key programmes and bursaries that the College offers. Expos are one of the opportunities to grow public awareness of the College and its new offerings. We have recently introduced new courses at two of our seven campuses.

Among the new courses are the NCV programme, ‘Transport and Logistics’ and the Report 191 course ‘Financial Management’. These have been introduced at the Ntabozuko Campus. At Mngazi Campus, we introduced the ‘Water Treatment’ programme.

This programme will also be introduced to the Ntabozuko Campus in due course.

The introduction of new courses is informed by the education and training development needs of the communities we serve.
