On the 24th August 2017, the SAICE UCT Student Chapter hosted its annual cocktail evening in the New Engineering Building at the University of Cape Town. This event provided an opportunity for students and people in industry to interact to assist students with finding bursaries, vacation work as well as discovering more about the working world.
The evening started with an inspiring talk by Manglin Pillay, the SAICE CEO and our keynote speaker, about his vision for the young and upcoming engineers. Then, representatives from each of the participating companies and organisations spoke to the students about the type of work they do and the opportunities available in industry. Once talks had been completed, there was time for students to visit each of the company’s stalls while enjoying refreshments provided by the student chapter.
A huge thank you to the following companies for their participation in this evening: Aurecon, Bigen Africa, BYG, CESA, Fairbrother, Group 5, JG Afrika, Kantey & Templar, Martin & East, PRDW
