Learners urged to build sustainable careers in creative sectors
Manamela led the fourth annual Heritage Careers Expo at Capricorn TVET Colleges.
The Minister of Higher Education and Training, Buti Manamela, recently encouraged young learners to pursue careers in the creative and cultural sectors. He did so at the fourth annual Heritage Careers Expo, held at Capricorn TVET College's Seshego Campus in Limpopo.
Learners from various high schools had the opportunity to explore unconventional career paths in areas such as fashion, music, visual arts, hospitality, and hairdressing. Manamela, alongside representatives from Capricorn TVET College and industry stakeholders, engaged with the learners throughout the event.
The Minister emphasized the importance of pursuing careers in fields traditionally considered passions, including music, dance, fashion, beauty, performing, and visual arts. He stressed that these careers are not only a means to enhance individual talent but also offer potential for entrepreneurship and job creation.
Manamela encouraged learners not to limit themselves to traditional career options and instead explore these creative fields through universities of technology and TVET colleges.
