The Northern Cape Province of South Africa holds the highest unemployment rate in the country. Almost 40% of its population currently struggles with unemployment. In response, National Careers Week’s “Pathways to Employment” career fairs aim to tackle this issue by providing job seekers with a platform to interact with potential employers and access training and job search resources.
The Northern Cape Province is preparing for a significant event in collaboration with the Department of Employment and Labour, SETAs, and the John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality to host Careers Fairs during the National Careers Week from 24 to 26 May 2023. The main objective of the program is to provide job seekers with a platform to interact with potential employers and receive guidance on various employment and learning pathways.
