2010-03-19:3rd Soweto career day and expo – Orlando communal hall – Soweto – 23rd & 24th March 2010  
  
The City of Johannesburg will be hosting the 3rd SOWETO CAREER DAY & EXPO. This event is the biggest event in the education calendar of Soweto, where most schools and youth in Soweto and Johannesburg partake in a two day career awareness and youth development programme. 

The Soweto Career Day & Expo covers a broad spectrum of career available in different sectors. This day will prove to be an eye opening experience to the scholars and the unemployed of Johannesburg, whereby they will interact with major employers and executives that will provide them insight on their industries, what courses are critical for scholars to focus on and which fields of work that lack skills, share information about career development programs like bursary schemes, internship, mentorship, recruitment, training and skills development.

The City of Johannesburg Youth Unit has partnered with Careers Inc. in delivering the 3rd Soweto Career Day & Expo running on 23 to 24 March 2010.

The main objectives of this event is to expose the youth, particularly high school learners, to various career options open to them; to facilitate person-to-person interaction between employers in specific fields and the youth on career related issues; to create an information platform for young people to broaden their horizons in terms of career goals and options, this includes both traditional employment and self-employment; to facilitate person-to-person interaction between still-at-school youth and potential employers, training institutions and employment agencies; to contribute to the stepping up of career guidance / counseling facilities in disadvantaged schools as well as to contribute to the capacitating of teacher for career guidance and counseling purposes.
