why choose us?

The Cape Careers Exhibitors Association was established in 1990 when a need was recognized that many high school learners are not provided sufficient exposure to Higher Educational Institutions and Further Education and Training Institutions before they make subject and career choices and leave school. From humble beginnings the CCEA has grown and presently has 97 members comprising Universities, Universities of Technology, Further Education and Training Colleges, Private Colleges and Private Providers of Education and Career Training
