GEORGE NEWS - Thembalethu Primary's Grade 7 learners explored some options during a career day on Friday 6 November, hosted by the Inkcubeko Youth Science Centre and the school.

The programme took place in the centre's main hall under the leadership of its academic manager, Milaan Strachan.

Event organiser Sinazo Duru said the programme gave the learners a clearer understanding of the opportunities available after school, and what the various careers require. 

The learners visited stations where representatives shared information about their professions. Duru said they enjoyed the displays and the opportunity to learn about the various career paths.

The centre's science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem) officers, Amahle Mtuti and Abongile Ntsepo, also demonstrated some experiments to introduce the learners to the world of science.

The participating organisations included the George Fire Department, the Western Cape Government, the Mfundo Lee Marasi Foundation, Old Mutual, the Nelson Mandela University's George Campus, the Western Cape College of Nursing and the Garden Route Botanical Garden. A number of paramedics also took part.
