Careers for tomorrow

1st Quarter 2012 News & events

Events management company élancommunications recently launched the myTomorrow Careers Exhibition.The intention is to make young people aware of the exciting technical careers open to them as an artisan or technician.

Focusing on the many trades that school leavers can apply for, élancommunications, together with industry leaders, will provide a platform where learners with technical aptitude can meet with companies and learning institutes to find out about the bursaries, learnerships and training opportunities that are available, and the requirements for these.

élancommunications is looking for companies to partner with them in making a difference and will be working closely with the Department of Education for guidance in reaching the right young people. The focus will be on achievers from grades 8 to 11 who have an interest in a technical career but do not have the resources to go any further.

The exhibition will kick off at Nasrec in Johannesburg from 29 May to 1 June and the Minister of Education will be invited to open the event.

A full marketing campaign will be conducted through the national and regional press, independent education publications, school publications, posters and flyers at selected schools and the MyTomorrow Web Site.

For more information contact Moira Hattingh, élancommunications, +27 (0)12 205 1566, [email protected], www.elancomm.com
