Community Engagement for Career Excellence

Posted on October 01, 2018

Second year Masters students from the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Pretoria hosted a career expo in Diepsloot on 25 August 2018. The students were tasked to design stalls with current and relevant career information to learners of various ages in said community.


The goal was to provide the youth with as much information as possible in order for them to have sufficient knowledge on subject or career choices, higher education institution choices, training opportunities, bursary information and general interview and application skills that will help them in their pursuit of a future career. The hope was to promote community participation, social cohesion and transformation as part of community engagement. 


Various role players and organisations from the community as well as larger society pitched in to make this day a success, some of these included Diepsloot Arsenal PTY, Gauteng Department of Education and the South African Air Force.
