DIRCO, DHET and NYDA to host Career Symposium
The Department of International Relations and Cooperation, together with the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), will host a career symposium at Westbury Secondary School on Monday, 09 September 2019.
Deputy Minister Alvin Botes visited the school in August 2019. On that occasion, learners raised concerns regarding lack of career information as well as details in relation to requirements for registration at institutions of higher learning, education and training.
The symposium is therefore aimed at highlighting potential career opportunities to learners and encourage them to act now with regards to application for admission to Universities and Colleges. Learners will be provided with information on qualifications offered by different Higher Education and Training institutions as well as information and direction on how to access NSFAS, SETAS and services offered by the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA).
