DUT Hosts Annual WOW Exhibition

DUT Hosts Annual WOW Exhibition

The annual World Of Work (WOW) exhibition will be taking place on August 15-16 at the Fred Crookes Sport Centre, Steve Biko Campus where, as usual, DUT students will have the chance to gain insight on their chosen professions.

The standard of WOW has grown, and continues to grow, tremendously annually. Over 100 companies are expected to be present at this year’s (2013) event.

The initiative is headed by the Co-operative Education Department at DUT with the aim of building and strengthening relationships between the University and both industry professionals and companies. As many of the companies which participate in WOW have a partnership with DUT, this thus leads to many possible internship opportunities for third-year students in the institution.

Newly established Durban radio station Vuma FM will host auditions on the days of the event while Lotus Fm will give a presentation to all students. The Sectors of Education and Training Authority (SETA), which the University has a collaboration with, will also be present. Among these will be Manufacturing, Engineering and Related services (MERSETA); Wholesale and Retail (WRSETA) and Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority (CHIETA).

Well-established companies such as Toyota, Edcon and Ezemvelo Wildlife, among many others, will also participate in order to enlighten students on what they seek from young graduates.
