Youth urged to stay focused
Kuzondlula Motivational Tour hosted a career expo under the theme says "Now I Know Exactly What I Will be Studying For."
Hundreds of school pupils and youth in Ivory Park packed the Ivory Park North Hall next to the Ivory Park SAPS in a career expo.
Kuzondlula Motivational Tour hosted a career expo under the theme, “Now I Know Exactly What I Will be Studying For”.
The seminar was held on June 18.
The expo was attended by the Deputy Speaker of National Parliament Lechesa Tsenoli, MEC of Social Development Nandi Mayethula-Khoza, Former Gauteng Chairperson of CPFs Andy Mashaile, Chairperson of Education at the Gauteng Legislature Joe Mpisi and local ward councillors.
Several colleges and universities attended to the expo.
According to the founder of Kuzondlula Motivational Tour, Mr Vuyolethu Sibiya, the aim of the career expo was to give the youth and school pupils a platform to interact with various career and financial aid experts.
“We are hoping all the attendees have acquired vital information needed in their future careers. We believe in building educated, hard-working individuals who will make the country a better place for all. So many students fail to further their education because they lack information on how to apply for financial aids. By bringing these institutions closer to them, we are hoping they receive all the necessary information and forms to apply,” said Mr Sibiya.
The Deputy Speaker of National Parliament Lechesa Tsenoli encouraged young people to stay focused and be aware of the people they associate with.
“I am advising matriculants to stop engaging on social media, alcohol and substance abuse. Rather concentrate on revising your schoolwork so that you obtain better marks by the end of the year.”
Meanwhile MEC of Social Development Nandi Mayethula-Khoza appealed to the government to help matriculants with bursaries, learnerships and internships.
She encouraged the youth to follow their dreams and missions.
