Careers I Never Knew Existed: Our Net Buddies at Microsoft
Five Core Skills. One Dynamic Future.
A Day of Discovery
Our Net Buddies from our Johannesburg South, Alexandra Township and Khayelitsha sites had the opportunity to attend a career fair at Microsoft’s offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town. This was most of Net Buddies’ second year attending the Microsoft career fair, and each visit continues to widen their view of what their futures can hold.
Welcoming New Learners
In Cape Town, we also invited learners from a potential school partner to join the day alongside our Net Buddies. For these learners, it was a whole new experience.
One learner shared: “I learned about many careers that I never knew existed. I left Microsoft with more knowledge and direction for my future.”
We want to express our sincere gratitude to Microsoft for this opportunity given to our Net Buddies and to the students we had the privilege of inviting.
Thank You, Microsoft
Open Your Doors to Our Teens
Exposure to real workplaces helps our teens connect their ambitions to concrete paths. If your organisation would like to host our Net Buddies, we would love to hear from you.
