Annual career summit gives light to HeronBridge College learners

HeronBridge College hosted their annual career summit on the campus on July 29.

Learners from grades 9 to 12 and their parents got to take in 38 exhibits on display to see what options they have post-high school. Some of the institutions on site included Guvon Academy, Villioti Fashion Institute, University of Johannesburg and many more.

Hannah Uys was part of the team who organised the morning’s exhibition and was overjoyed at the turnout for the morning’s event.

“For the past two years, we’ve had to do the summit virtually where the learners get all the information sent to them via the school app. However, having a summit like this face-to-face is so much more fun, and informative and gives them an idea for their future.

“We’re glad to see so many learners and their parents here, and we’re so grateful to the institutions here as well, as the turnout from them has been amazing,” she said.

Grade 11 learners Ropa Manguwa and Briana Tomlinson found the summit to be incredibly informative. Briana said it gave her and Ropa an insight as to what career they could go into once they completed high school.
“Just knowing there are a number of opportunities available and it’s nice to have all the options under one roof to get information from different places.

“We need to start looking at different universities and stuff and being able to see what institutions to look at and how to access them. They’ve given us different details so that meetings could maybe take place or find out more on the different careers,” said Ropa.
