Matric learners across the metro are invited to visit the Rocking Future Career Expo this April, as the long-running career roadshow will be visiting several high schools during April, offering post-matric guidance for the Class of 2026.
The Rocking Future Career Expo is a long-running, interactive ‘edutainment’ roadshow designed to guide high school learners (primarily Grade 12s) through their post-matric options.
Organised by NPO 3RC, the expo has been running for over 25 years and visits roughly 250 schools annually between January and May in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
Organisers say the majority of school leavers face major challenges when looking for employment or finding a place to study within state universities. They add that these expos create and share impactful moments with students where passion meets purpose and learners walk away inspired, informed, and excited about their futures instead of anxious and uncertain about what lies ahead.
The show will be visiting several high schools. These include Amberfield College, Willowridge, Pretoria Central, HTS Pretoria Tuine, Pretoria Technical High, Curro Thatchfield High and Langehoven. Hoërskool Voortrekkerhoogte, Curro Academy Pretoria, Prestige College, Charlton Vos Academy, Hoërskool FH Odendaal, Die Hoërskool Wonderboom, Abbotts College Pretoria East, Hoërskool Oos-Moot, and St Mary’s DSG complete the list.
Learners and schools can participate in the expo at no cost.
“We provide institutions that can cover every direction – from the arts to business to IT to agriculture. We have specialist colleges like Animation School, and various institutions like STADIO, where you can study anything from teaching to law,” said expo founder, Kay Cheytanov.
“The tertiary institutions are the core of the expo. At each school, we gather up to 28 institutions that have the time to introduce themselves to the learners by means of a video and then a verbal introduction.”
Cheytanov said they track career interests every year, and business studies always seem to trump the choice for most learners.
She said in the last few years they have gained study choices that will allow these students access to international markets, such as finance, nursing and teaching.
