Mr Jabu Sithole, a recruiter, shared information on the possibilities of study at the NWU. He highlighted the different courses on offer at the three campuses of the university and explained the Admission Points Score (APS) that is required for admission.
The Green Campus Initiative (GCI) was represented by Nadine Smit and Sibongile Lauraine Ndweni. The GCI is a partnership between students and staff, with both groups coming together to create greater awareness and insight on how to be a responsible green citizen.
Nadine addressed the learners on the prospects of a career in the environmental sector. She also explained how becoming involved in GCI initiatives once they join the university would be a great way to start such a career path. The discussion furthermore explored the natural biodiversity that our beautiful country has to offer amid enthusiastic participation from the learners.
