Learners at Kebinelang Secondary School in Manthe village, near Taung said the career expo that was held on Thursday at their school will play a crucial role in their career choices. The school organised the career expo and invited stakeholders to share their knowledge and expertise in their various fields.

A Grade 8 learner, Kelebogile Goitseone, whose aspiration is to become an accountant said, she has learned a lot about her career of choice and this will ensure that she chooses the right subjects to achieve her goal.

“I am an aspiring accountant, so I think getting more knowledge on what kind of subjects I must study plays a crucial role. Many learners especially from rural areas ended up dropping out of tertiary because of the wrong career choices.

“So, I would like to applaud the school management for coming up with this initiative. As a learner, you will think you know more about your career aspirations until you get to university,” she said.

Another learner, Rebaone Retshepaone Tshweu shared the same sentiments. Tshweu said she wants to study medicine because of her love to assist patients.

“I was daunted at first by my career choice, however, I am now ready and motivated after this career expo. I’m now itching to go study medicine and meet with real patients. I believe that education is very important because it is a key to success. So, for all other learners, it is important to continue to study hard and produce good future leaders within our society.

“The career expo gave me a motivation to get through university, of course after finishing my matric. This will really help to become the image of the doctor I want to be in the future. I believe I have what it takes because I am someone who is both up-to-date with knowledge and capable of building a strong personality that is needed for the career of my choice,” she said.

Meanwhile, Departmental Head and General Education and Training (GET) coordinator, Kediemetse Baisistse said: “Remember, our school specialises in Tourism and Hospitality, so we invited various stakeholders from different sectors to come and share their expertise. It is imperative for learners to know which career choice they embark on.

“We have realised that many learners especially from rural areas experience challenges when they get to university because of wrong career choices. So, this initiative will assist them enormously to make good career choices and know what is expected from them.”

She said it is important to expose learners early to different kinds of careers so that they can make noble decisions. Baisitse said this will be an annual event and they have also invited learners from lower grades.

Other stakeholders who came to the fore were the South African Police Service (SAPS), Vuselela FET College, Assupol including the legendary Taung Hotel School.

Most state-owned companies in North West are faced with a mammoth task in ensuring that they are self-efficient. They are either faced with maladministration, corruption, or malfeasance.

Now, the North West Premier, Bushy Maape has come up with strategic measures to improve oversight over state-owned enterprises (SOEs) by appointing a panel of experts, who will be responsible to look at the status of the provincial SOEs and make recommendations to the provincial government on how these institutions can contribute in driving the provincial economy to fully recover.

Among other recommendations, the panel will also help the province lure investors and drive the economy to its full recovery. Maape said this will be done through the resuscitation of the Growth and Development Strategy (GDS).

“With the provincial unemployment rate currently sitting at around 34 %, the government believes that SOEs can play a meaningful role in repositioning the provincial economy by partnering with various financial and commercial institutions to attract investments.

“The panel will also be expected to advise the government on the feasibility of resuscitating old and abandoned projects by turning them into mega projects. This includes exploring and devising strategies in initiating new mega projects through various infrastructural projects,” he said.

Maape further said, the appointment of these experts forms part of a broader strategy by the government to create employment and address the scourge of poverty and income inequalities afflicting many communities across the province. He also maintained that the resuscitation of the GDS is a step in the right direction in attracting investments and creating opportunities for locals.

“There is a glimmer of hope in what we are trying to achieve. In the past few months, I’ve been crisscrossing the province speaking to different stakeholders about how we can resuscitate the economy.

“All of them have made a commitment to work with us in achieving our intended objectives. We believe that, through infrastructure development, the provincial government will be able to respond to a number of challenges confronting the province. But critically, to reposition the province as a viable destination for investments,” said Maape.

He added: “Through this initiative, we will be able to contribute to the province’s GDP and this will in turn create opportunities for upcoming entrepreneurs. This will put us in a better position to create jobs for our people so that they can be self-sufficient.”

He said the panel of experts includes professionals from various academic backgrounds as well as industries and organisations. Maape said they will work for hand in glove with senior government officials in seeing to the full implementation of the aforementioned plans.
