Trevor Noah Foundation Invites STEM Partners to Join 2026 Khulani Schools Programme

Trevor Noah Foundation Invites STEM Partners to Join 2026 Khulani Schools Programme. The Trevor Noah Foundation has issued a call for participation in the 2026 Khulani Schools Programme (KSP), inviting organisations and companies to take part in two flagship initiatives: the Career Expos 2026 and the Take a Learner to Work programme.

The initiatives are designed to provide Grade 9, 10, and 11 learners with meaningful exposure to career pathways, industries, and study options, equipping them with knowledge to make informed decisions about their futures. By engaging directly with professionals and organisations, learners will gain insights into the skills and opportunities available in the modern economy.

The Foundation is particularly seeking participation from STEM-focused organisations and companies across all industries, with a strong emphasis on those based in Pretoria and Johannesburg. Interested partners can contribute by exhibiting at career expos, hosting learners at their workplaces, or offering mentorship and guidance to help shape career choices.

The Career Expos 2026 will serve as interactive platforms where learners can explore diverse industries, meet professionals, and discover study opportunities aligned with their interests. Meanwhile, the Take a Learner to Work initiative will provide hands-on experience, allowing students to shadow professionals and gain a practical understanding of workplace environments.

Organisers highlighted that these initiatives are central to the Foundation’s mission of empowering young people through education and exposure. By connecting learners with real-world opportunities, the programme aims to bridge the gap between classroom learning and career readiness.

Organisations and companies interested in participating are encouraged to complete the Expression of Interest Form available through the Foundation’s official website. The submission deadline is 13 March 2026, ensuring that partners are confirmed ahead of the programme’s rollout.

The Trevor Noah Foundation emphasized that collaboration with industry partners is vital to the success of the Khulani Schools Programme, helping to inspire the next generation of innovators, leaders, and professionals.
