A TOTAL OF 4000 Grade 11 and 12 learners from 28 schools in the Intsika Yethu Municipality in the Eastern Cape will be exposed to career opportunities in the human settlements sector on Friday, 31 August 2018.

The Career Expo, championed by the Department of Human Settlements and its entities, is part of an outreach programme aimed at ensuring that information on departmental programmes and opportunities is accessed by all learners throughout the country.
