Rabie recently organised the fifth annual Careers Day at Sinenjongo High School in Joe Slovo Park, which we adopted as the major beneficiary of our Corporate Social Investment programme six years ago.
In all 26 speakers took part and together covered a wide range of careers.
The speakers were divided into three groups according to the subjects needed to qualify for a career in that field. The maths and science learners listened to civil, mechanical and electrical engineers, an industrial psychologist, a microbiologist, a quantity surveyor and project manager, an IT expert and a teacher.
The commerce cluster of speakers included a financial manager, marketing, property studies, banking, property administrators, information technology, accountancy, retailing and law while speakers in the general cluster included a personal trainer, a property broker, a sales manager, a plumber, an environmental conservationist, a personal stylist and make-up artist, a hospitality expert and a chef.
There was a record turnout of Grade 10,11 and 12 learners on the day with more than 200 participating and describing it “as the best yet”.
