Annually, the KwaZuluNatal Department of Education conducts district-based career exhibitions throughout the Province.

The aim of the exhibitions is to provide information to Grade 11 and 12 learners about the various career options so that they can choose to follow following the completion of their schooling. A varied selection of businesses and organisations, including professional bodies and sector education and training authorities, exhibit at each venue. In addition, a range of educational institutions provide information regarding courses and the application process required. Information regarding funding and bursary opportunities provided through host municipalities, the provincial government and other organisations is also on hand.

The KZN Youth International Scholarship team members have been attending these exhibitions to explain
the opportunities available to learners and to educate their teachers. This is especially important in areas where career guidance resources are limited.

The news of the international opportunities has been received with much excitement and interest. The KZN Youth International Scholarship team looks forward to seeing more students taking up these offers in the future.
