Last week, the MICT SETA participated in the DHET-Khetha Mandela Day Career Development Festival, hosted in partnership with the Overberg District Municipality.

Engaging with Grade 9-12 learners and NEET youth across Grabouw and Hermanus, where we shared valuable information on career pathways, skills development programmes and opportunities within the MICT sector.
Every interaction reinforced the importance of accessible career guidance in empowering young people to make informed decisions about their education, training, and future careers.

Together with our partners, we remain committed to unlocking opportunities and building a skilled, future-ready generation.

Empowering young people to shape their future, one career conversation at a time.
MICT SETA proudly participated in the Career Expo, hosted by the Department of Employment and Labour in partnership with the Dr Beyers Naudé Local Municipality in Robert Sobukwe Town (fka Graaff-Reinet). The expo brought together Grade 9 -12 learners, TVET and university students, out-of-school youth, job seekers and members of the community to explore career pathways, post-school education opportunities and skills development programmes.

It was inspiring to witness the enthusiasm of attendees as they engaged with exhibitors, industry professionals and PSET stakeholders, gaining valuable insights to help them make informed decisions about their futures.

Together, we remain committed to connecting South Africans with opportunities that empower them to learn, grow and thrive.

67 Minutes for Future Skills.
This Mandela Month, our MICT CARES Champions showed up in both Cape Town and Johannesburg - to do something simple yet powerful: invest in the earliest chapter of a child's education.

Workbooks. Flashcards. Teaching aids. Learning posters, crafted with care for Early Childhood Development (ECD)centres serving children in communities that need it most.

Because today's preschool learner is tomorrow's programmer, entrepreneur, broadcaster, cybersecurity specialist, and innovator.

"It's still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity."
At MICT SETA, we held that truth and acted on it.

Thank you to every volunteer, to Ladles of Love, and to every partner who made this a Mandela Day to remember.
