Prospective learners will be able to meet with representatives from a wide range of universities, technikons, colleges and other tertiary institutions. They will also gain insight and career advice from leading field specialists to better understand the expectations and roles of their potential professions.
The learner expo aims to feed learners with valuable knowledge to make educated decisions regarding their future through discussions and presentations. Learners can also learn how to secure student loans and even bursaries.
They will get advice on how to manage finances when living away from home, should you take a gap year or not, as well as share information with other school leavers and parents.
There will be live talks and interactive programmes.
