The Northern Cape Department of Social Development (DSD) hereby held the
Career Exhibition and Substance Abuse Awareness Programme on 28 August in
Douglas, was led by the MEC for Social Development, Nontobeko Vilakazi.
The programme seeks to empower young people by exposing them to diverse
career opportunities and providing guidance on career pathways. It will also raise
awareness about the dangers of substance abuse, which continues to be one of the
major social challenges affecting youth in our communities.
As part of the programme, there will be various exhibition stalls, including the
National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), Sol Plaatje University (SPU) and the
Premier’s Bursary Fund, among others, to provide valuable information on
opportunities available to the youth.
The event will bring together government departments, educational institutions,
community organisations, and professionals to offer mentorship, support and
practical information to young people.
