The total amount needed for the career expo 2010 will be R100, (only one main sponsor to get all the marketing exposure).ĥ As you can see there is a great need for this career expo. After the huge success the career expo will now be an annual event. The schools can keep the information and the scholars can access the information on a convenient time and to research different careers and the different career paths. PACE Career Centre done assessments on all the interested scholars and over 800 assessments were completed during the Career Expo.Ĥ All participating schools did each receive a career goodie bag, which included: a CD/Career workbooks/Career directory, which discuss more than 800 careers/brochures from participating companies.
