The Working World Exhibition 2027 — Nelson Mandela Bay

The Working World Exhibition runs for three days at the Tramways Building in Gqeberha, and entry is free for all visitors. It is a careers and study exhibition aimed at learners, current students, educators and parents. Exhibitors cover study, training, bursary and work options, so you can move from stand to stand and compare what different places offer. The organiser also lists free informative seminars, free stage demonstrations, and free "Try a Trade" interactive areas where you can get a feel for hands-on work. Free career advice and free CV advice are on offer as well.

Come prepared. Write a short list of questions before you go — what you want to study, what it costs, what marks you need — and bring a pen and something to write on, plus a bag for the brochures you collect. If you already have a CV, bring a copy so you can ask for advice on it.

The venue is the Tramways Building on Lower Valley Road, in Port Elizabeth Central. Plan your trip and your taxi fare in advance, and check which route drops you closest to the building.
