Rustenburg, 16 June 2021 \u2013 Impala Rustenburg has developed and launched an innovative mobile Career Expo, an inspirational and aspirational showcase which will introduce more than 5 700 local high school learners to the wide range of career opportunities in the mining industry. The expo launch was timed to coincide with Youth Month, which this year is themed around \u201cThe Year of Charlotte Mannya Maxeke: Growing youth employment for an inclusive and transformed society\u201d.<\/p>\n

The mobile Career Expo is visiting 12 high schools in the mining community \u2013 all of which are supported by Impala Rustenburg \u2013 from 28 May to 17 August, with breaks in the schedule to accommodate the school\u2019s exam and holiday timetables. The Career Expo will reach learners in Grade 9 (providing subject choice guidance for Grade 10), and in grades 11 and 12 to assist in career planning.<\/p>\n

Mark Munroe, Impala Rustenburg\u2019s CE, said: \u201cImpala Rustenburg believes in building and growing our future, and investing in our youth is key. With this in mind, we recognised the need to highlight the broad scope of career opportunities in South Africa\u2019s mining industry for our high school learners. The mobile nature of the expo enables us to reach a greater number of students than previously possible, while also adhering to Covid-19 restrictions on gatherings.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a letter to Impala Rustenburg, the district Department of Education confirmed its support for Impala Rustenburg\u2019s Career Expo.<\/p>\n

The Career Expo is hosted by South African comedian, Jay Boogie, and keeps the learners engaged and interested, while highlighting several of Impala Rustenburg\u2019s initiatives aimed at empowering the youth, including:<\/p>\n

\u2022 On-the-job training, which is provided for some entry-level jobs
\u2022 Graduate internships, available across a wide range of disciplines. Minimum requirements considered for a graduate internship, include a matric
certificate or a higher qualification
\u2022 Learnerships for specific job categories
\u2022 Cadet programmes, which develop critical mining skills
\u2022 Bursary programmes to fund university education for matriculants<\/p>\n

The Career Expo will educate the students about their options and equip them with information about what they can look forward to if they choose a career in the mining industry \u2013 either with Impala Rustenburg or another mining company.<\/p>\n
