In October, the Amos Bursary brought together students, alumni and sponsoring organisations to meet, greet and network.
The first part of the evening was attended by over 30 sponsors from different organisations who took part in the career carousel.

They had the opportunity to speak to the students and explore their career options in small group or 1-1 sessions. Later they were joined by the Alumni to extend networking for everyone.
Celebrating partnerships; changing the narrative
The remainder of the evening was about celebrating 10 outstanding alumni who are changing the narrative and normalising success in our community.
The host for the evening was Gabriel Amida, supported by Jesse Williams and Nowell Crooks.
The outstanding alumni were celebrated by their peers who gave a short citation about their achievements. Daniel Agard who now lives and works in Dubai, joined the evening via Zoom.
