ALEIT ON THE MOVE GE N ERA L A L E I T S W ANE P O E L & H ANS RO O S E NS CH O O N 2 0 1 9 Aleit Swanepoel shares his limitless knowledge of the Events Industry at multiple schools, festivals, career days and breakfasts all over the country.

One of the highlights of his year was his visit to Namibia at the Hashtag Career Festival in Windhoek, Namibia on 5, 6 & 7 June. The learners were in awe of his persona and absolute devotion to the hospitality industry!

Aleit also spent some time at La Rochelle Girls’ High school as part of the All Girls School festival where they absolutely adored him! Other schools include Paarl Girls High School, Bloemhof High School and Worcester Gimnasium.

Aleit loves his yearly trip to East London. He especially enjoyed Queenstown, Eastern Cape Girls High! Aleit believes that if these young adults are our future generation, he says that he sees great things coming.

The Aleit Academy students also had a chance to get to know The Aleit Group owners during an informal Q&A session with CEO Hans Roosenschoon and Founder & Owner, Aleit himself. It included lots of reminiscing about past experiences as well as useful and noteworthy advice.
