3rd Annual Jobs & Career Expo

The Jobs & Career Expo, hosted by Imbizo Events and its subsidiary IMBEX, is a high-impact platform focused on tackling unemployment, skills gaps, and education access in the Eastern Cape and beyond. Now in its third year, the Expo has positioned itself as a critical connector between job seekers, students, employers, government, and education institutions, creating real pathways from learning to earning.

Built around the theme “Breaking Barriers: Careers Without Limits”, the Expo is intentionally designed to expand access to future-focused opportunities, with a strong emphasis on STEAM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics). The programme prioritises skills and careers aligned to innovation, digital transformation, and economic growth — ensuring young people and job seekers are equipped for the realities of a rapidly evolving job market.

Who Attends?

The Jobs & Career Expo attracts a diverse, action-oriented audience, including:
Job seekers and unemployed graduates actively seeking employment and placement opportunities
High school learners and tertiary students exploring career paths, bursaries, and study options
Career advisors, educators, and training providers shaping future-ready skills.
Private sector employers and SMEs recruiting talent and showcasing opportunities
Private and public educational institutions promoting academic and vocational pathways
Government departments and policymakers, including Higher Education, Labour, and Digital Technologies
Financial institutions and development partners supporting education, funding, and entrepreneurship.

Whether you’re a learner mapping your future, an employer sourcing talent, or a stakeholder committed to reducing unemployment and skills mismatches, the Jobs & Career Expo is where access meets action — and careers are unlocked, not just discussed.
