The Newcastle Local Municipality hosted a career expo for learners who are currently studying matric in 2026. It was evident that the event was very well planned; a testament to this was the positive turnout among stakeholders. The stakeholders attended the event as exhibitors, providing crucial and valuable information to the learners attending the event. This event took place from 23 February 2026 – 27 February 2026.
This event provided a great opportunity for the KZN Sharks Board to engage with the Newcastle school learners. During the engagements, we were able to raise awareness on the existence of the KZN Sharks Board, the activities that we do or have to offer to the public.
The KZN Sharks Board provided information on Tourism & Maritime related careers. We distributed our career guidance brochure or pamphlet. Amongst the services that we offer, our Audio Visual and Shark Dissection Show was very popular, especially with the school learners, as they frequently visit ‘Durban’ for their school excursions. We are hoping that with these kinds of engagements, we will note an increase in the number of admissions or visitors that come through our doors.
