CREATING FUTURES: The Career Fair linked students with future employers.
Monday, 04 August 2025
The annual CPUT Career Fair connected students with a broad range of industry professionals for a day of meaningful engagement, networking and career exploration.
The event, which was held at the Major Sports Hall, Bellville Campus, featured 25 industry exhibitors from various sectors including banking, technology, health and government.
The fair was officially opened by A/Prof Nicole Brooks, Dean of the Faculty of Health and Wellness Sciences, who said it served as a platform where career aspirations met real-world opportunities.
“A career fair, such as this event today, serves as a bridge connecting students with potential employers. It is an important platform that bridges the gap between academic learning and the professional world, offering immediate and long-term benefits to our students, to our graduates, our academic departments and the various industries alike.”
Brooks said CPUT was honoured to have such a diverse and dynamic group of organisations, with a range of established professionals, participating in the fair.
“To all our exhibitors, thank you for making the time to invest in our students and for contributing to the development of future professionals. Your presence her today not only showcases the landscape of career possibilities, but also reflects your commitment to talent development, mentorship and partnership with higher education, particularly with CPUT.”
Luvuyo Kakaza, Manager: Cooperative Education Unit, said he hoped strong relationships would be built to help ensure work placement for students and graduates
“We want CPUT to be the institution of choice when it comes to appointing students and graduates.”
