Ambleside School of Hout Bay pupils were in for a treat at the Rocking Future Career Expo 2026 on Tuesday, March 10, which aims to help school leavers with their career prospects.

The expo was hosted by Three Rock Characters (3RC), a South African youth marketing and edutainment company founded in 2001 by Kay Cheytanov.

Ms Cheytanov said the expos are touring South Africa, creating and sharing impactful moments with pupils where passion meets purpose, allowing them to walk away inspired, informed, and excited about their futures rather than anxious and uncertain.

"The majority of our school leavers face major challenges when looking for employment or finding a place to study within state universities," she said. 

Teacher Brigitta Gaylar said: "I watched children go from feeling very enclosed, and no future, and really not even talking or engaging with the clients, to actually looking like they have a vision for their future, happy smiley faces. Going from quite apathetic to really excited about their future, with happy, smiley faces," she said.

The Rocking Future Career Expos, together with the 3D immersive online career expo www.swiwel.com, are available to pupils and students nationwide.

It is a platform available to youth across the country, free of charge, to help them find their future study and career path.
