Working World Expo 2026 - Gqeberha
The Working World Expo 2026 takes place from 17 – 19 February 2026 at the Tramways Building, Valley Road, Gqeberha. Now in its 27th year, this award-winning initiative has become South Africa’s leading career development platform, dedicated to preparing young people for the world of work.
The Expo transforms traditional career guidance into an interactive, engaging experience, designed to equip learners with the knowledge, resources, and inspiration they need to make informed decisions about their future. Visitors can look forward to:
-
Career insights from industry experts, highlighting fields with critical skills shortages.
-
Bursary and entrepreneurship opportunities to support future studies and business ventures.
-
Seminars and networking sessions with professionals and organisations.
-
Access to the official Working World Workbook, endorsed by the Department of Education and used as part of the Life Orientation curriculum.
This initiative directly addresses South Africa’s youth unemployment challenge, reaching thousands of Grade 11 and 12 learners, unemployed youth, and graduates each year – completely free of charge to schools and students.
The Expo also provides valuable resources for educators, parents, and the broader public, making it a vital platform for anyone interested in career and education opportunities.
