Shoprite supports the next generation at the #Festival
Shoprite is one of the select companies which was quick to respond in its support of the first Hashtag Festival to be held from 7 to 9 September 2017.
This career expo will focus on Namibia's next generation and is set to become an annual event on the Namibian calendar.
“Anybody can access the internet and read up everything that relates to a career in an international context, but Namibia does not provide a one-stop information facility which provides local youth and their parents with local content and context,” said Albe Botha, CEO of Namibia Media Holdings. Shoprite Namibia's CEO, Paul Malan, immediately understood the need to share information about career-related opportunities in an attempt to address and solve challenges commonly faced by Namibians throughout the country. The #Festival will thus start on the Thursday focusing on careers and educational institutions as well as representatives from the public- and private sectors who have been invited to man information stands and conduct public presentations. The audience will be allowed an opportunity to ask questions.
The expo will take place at the SKW Sport Grounds, which allows nine sport franchises, comprising of pupils from all regions of the country to compete against each other in various sports codes.
Shoprite is aligned to the Arabian Knights franchise, with Windhoek Afrikaanse Privaatskool (WAP) being the managing school of the franchise. WAP's learners are joined by their franchise colleagues from Gobabis Gymnasium Private School, Wennie du Plessis Senior Secondary School and Epako Junior Secondary School (also from Gobabis).
