About this event
Future Forward: College & Career Fair
Your Future. Your Choices. Your Moment.
Presented by the Urban Community Coalition, Future Forward is a dynamic College & Career Fair designed to connect young people with the education, career pathways, skills, resources, and relationships that can help shape their future.
Taking place in Gqeberha, South Africa, Future Forward brings together high school learners, young adults, job seekers, parents, educators, universities, colleges, employers, training providers, entrepreneurs, and community organizations for a day centered on one goal: turning opportunity into action.
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore:
Education: Universities, colleges, TVET and skills-training opportunities, bursaries and financial aid, study opportunities, and student support resources.
Careers: Employers, recruiters, internships, learnerships, apprenticeships, career guidance, CV and interview support, and job-readiness resources.
Entrepreneurship & Innovation: Entrepreneurship pathways, STEAM and technology, mentorship, networking, innovation, and resources for aspiring young entrepreneurs.
Future Forward is more than an exhibition. It is a space for young people to ask questions, make connections, discover possibilities, and begin building a plan for what comes next.
Whether you're preparing for university, entering the workforce, exploring a trade, considering entrepreneurship, or simply trying to determine your next step, Future Forward is for you.
