Transnet National Ports Authority recently held a Bursary Activation Roadshow targeting Grade 12 learners studying science and mathematics.
The activations, which took place in Bizana and Mthatha on April 24 and 25, provided valuable information to learners on maritime career opportunities.
During the two-day activation, TNPA met with over 1 200 learners. Learners engaged in discussions and presentations, including a-day-in-the-life-of-a-mariner sessions.
“This is an opportunity to provide learners with access to information so they can learn more about maritime-related careers. The maritime industry offers exciting and challenging career opportunities, and these activations will assist in increasing awareness about available bursaries within TNPA,” said TNPA’s senior manager for stakeholder relations and sustainability, Simlindele Manqina.
The career awareness and bursary drives are part of TNPA’s nationwide roadshow, targeting youth across the country, especially those within previously disadvantaged communities in rural and remote areas who have limited access to information.
