STEM Conference & Career Expo director, Amalia Hendricks, explains that in the past the expo enjoyed tremendous popularity among forward-thinking universities, businesses, students and graduates looking to build a career in STEM-related fields. “The overwhelming feedback from both visitors and exhibitors over this time has pointed to the need for connection that goes beyond the show dates and supports both graduates and business in harnessing talent and opportunities in the STEM arena all year round. To this end, we are pleased to announce our partnership with Trusted Interns to bring employers and graduates in the STEM space a unique digital recruitment marketplace to connect,” Hendricks said.

Jaryd Raizon, director of Trusted Interns, expressed excitement at partnering with the STEM Conference & Career Expo. “Our technology will ensure that graduates and employers will not only be able to pre-book meaningful meetings for the two-day period at the STEM Conference & Expo but will continue to connect them well into the future. By way of this partnership, we are confident that this will be the most effective STEM-oriented career-matching expo in South Africa.”
