The Capricorn District Municipality Disaster Risk Management School Expo and Career Exhibition took place at Harry Oppenheimer Agricultural High School in Ga-Matlala under the Polokwane Municipality on 13 March 2026.
Led by the Chairperson of Community Services, Cllr Mpho Lebese, the session brought together municipal officials, disaster risk management practitioners, and educators to engage on disaster preparedness, risk reduction, and career opportunities within disaster management, emergency services, and other sectors.
The exhibition played a vital role in empowering learners by exposing them to a wide range of career paths at an early stage. It provided learners with an opportunity to interact directly with professionals, ask questions, and gain real-world insight into different industries. Such engagement helped bridge the gap between classroom learning and the practical demands of the workplace.
Career exhibitions also assisted learners in making informed subject and career choices by helping them understand the qualifications, skills, and competencies required in various fields. This early guidance reduced uncertainty and encouraged learners to plan their academic journeys with purpose and confidence.
Furthermore, the event inspired learners by showcasing achievable career pathways and highlighting opportunities within government and essential services such as disaster management and emergency response. It reinforced the importance of education, skills development, and community service, while motivating learners to pursue careers that contribute positively to society.
