In a remarkable endeavour to shape the future of young minds and uplift local communities, Octotel hosted a Career Expo in collaboration with Fisantekraal and Won Life Centre at the Fisantekraal Community Hall recently.
This event brought together students, brands, and local organisations to explore diverse career opportunities, foster community growth, and highlight the advantages of high-speed fibre connectivity.
“Our mission goes beyond mere connectivity; it is about creating opportunities for the next generation of leaders. Throughout our history, we have been at the forefront of innovation and community engagement, and this Career Expo exemplifies our commitment to making a positive difference in the communities we serve,” Carly-Beth Haydricks, Octotel’s Corporate Social Responsibility lead, said.
This expo was a beacon of hope for students seeking guidance on their educational and professional journeys, as 25 prominent brands participated, showcasing a diverse array of leadership opportunities, bursaries, employment options, and study programmes.
IkamvaYouth, a partner in this inspiring venture, recognises the significant importance of the Career Expo.
“Career expos provide a platform for us to engage with different stakeholders about our work. This event will open doors to network and identify potential collaborations with stakeholders present. Furthermore, we are excited to welcome young volunteers who may join us as tutors, furthering our mission to support education,” said IkamvaYouth’s Luzuko Sidimba.
SAE Institute, a renowned institution in the creative industry, believes that this partnership with Octotel could open doors to a brighter future for young creatives.
“We look forward to a future where SAE and Octotel collaborate to educate and uplift young talents with the knowledge and use of high-quality fibre connectivity. This partnership has the potential to revolutionize the creative landscape and empower the next generation of artists and innovators,” expressed Seth McKinnon, customer relations consultant and marketer for SAE Institute.
This initiative signifies a collective commitment to fostering the dreams and aspirations of the youth within Fisantekraal.
The collaboration between Octotel, local schools, and brand partners promises a brighter, more empowered future for the youth, who have gained access to invaluable resources, mentorship, and life-changing opportunities.
