The exhibition offered a plethora of workshops, inspirational guest speakers, and interactive sessions designed to motivate and enlighten attendees. Students got opportunities to engage with professionals from various sectors, gaining valuable insights into career choices and the skills necessary for success in today’s competitive landscape.
“We are creating a space where learners are exposed to careers, institutions, opportunities, and real conversations about life after school. We believe that access to information changes futures and that education remains one of the most powerful tools to break the cycle of poverty. This exhibition is about guiding, inspiring, and equipping young people to make informed decisions about their paths forward,” said AAF’s Dr Mmahine Mosana.
Lesedi-sedi’s director PEL Moloto said the school saw it fit to invite other schools to benefit from this exhibition. “We are proud to be part of an initiative that empowers our pupils, the local community and helps the next generation find their paths to success. We are certain that AAF’s expertise will undoubtedly inspire and motivate our learners and our guests learners, broadening their understanding of the various career paths available. Lesedi-sedi will continue organising these career expos to help learners choose the right paths in life.”
Moloto was thankful to all stakeholders that visited Lesedi-sedi to impart knowledge. The event was concluded with the remembrance of departed doctor and scientist Dorcas “Didi” Lekganyane who was allegedly killed by her husband in July 2024.
