Approximately 2 000 high school learners in Gr. 9 and Gr. 12, from 11 high schools in Prieska, De Aar and surroundings, attended the recent Pixley Ka Seme annual career exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition, held in the town hall in De Aar on 6 August, was presented by Mulilo Social Impact, in collaboration with Amasa Academy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It empowers young individuals, specifically Gr. 9 and Gr.1 2 learners, by equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to make informed, realistic, and meaningful decisions about their educational and career journeys.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Learners in Gr.9 were invited as they are in the process of subject selection, while Gr. 12s could explore post-school opportunities. South African youths who are not in employment, education, or training were also included to ensure broader access to career development resources to shape their futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants gained a deeper understanding of their personal interests, strengths, values, and opportunities available within the evolving world of work.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were empowered through career guidance, employment opportunities, and sector engagement.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition offered a dynamic space for tertiary institutions, government agencies, private enterprises, and social partners to present career pathways, funding opportunities, and mentorship programmes. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stakeholders provide valuable insights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Around 35 organisations of key sectors \u2212 including banking, government, higher education, independent power producers, safety and security, as well as engineering \u2212 participated in the event. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These stakeholders provided valuable insights into available bursaries, career opportunities, internships, and pathways for further education and employment, helping to broaden attendees’ understanding of the professional landscape.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mulilo Social Impact, in partnership with the Mulilo Community Trusts,<\/a> which include the Mulilo Prieska Community Trust, Mulilo De Aar Wind Community Trust, and Mulilo Solar Community Trusts, enabled Amasa Academy to deliver conversations around subject selection and post-matric study options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amasa Academy is a non-profit organisation (NPO) that supports high school learners through free tutoring, outreach programmes, motivational speaking, and career development initiatives.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mulilo Social Impact empowers communities through early childhood development, technical disciplines, bursaries, and vocational training. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also strengthens local infrastructure, provides access to primary healthcare, and promotes economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
