Supporting Leaders of the Future: AMSOL is Part of the Debate!
It was an exciting day of debate and engagement on Saturday 11th March, when learners from across the Eastern Cape province participated in the Eastern Cape Department of Education’s school debate on the 2017 ‘State of the Province’ address in Bhisho at the Provincial Legislature.
African Marine Solutions Group (AMSOL) interacted with learners at the career exhibition and also sponsored prizes of tablets for three of the debate winners; learners who enthralled all present with their exceptional communication and debate skills, and inspired their peers.
AMSOL’s HR Executive Nceba Mfini: “As the leading employer of South African seafarers, we are actively involved in supporting and promoting leadership development at secondary level, and encouraging maritime awareness. This professionally organized event gave us an opportunity to do just that and we have been impressed by the level of talent amongst the learners.”
Since 2016, AMSOL has actively supported two high schools in East London – Ngwenyathi Secondary School and George Randell High School – who are now offering Maritime Economics and Nautical Science to Grade 10, 11 and 12 learners.
