Reflecting on the Green Youth Careers Expo 2026, held on 16 June 2026 at Orbit TVET College - Mankwe Campus in the North West Province, the MICT SETA joined stakeholders from across sectors to commemorate Youth Day and mark 50 years since the historic 1976 student uprisings.

Supporting the growth of the green economy and a more sustainable future, we showcased our recently developed Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) qualifications, including the E-Waste Operator Controller qualification. These programmes are designed to equip young people with the skills needed to thrive in emerging industries while contributing to environmental sustainability.

The enthusiasm, curiosity and ambition displayed by the youth served as a powerful reminder that the future is in capable hands. Through collaboration with industry and PSET partners, we continue to open doors, create opportunities and empower young people to shape a better tomorrow.

Together, we honour the legacy of 1976 by investing in the leaders of the future.

This Youth Day, South Africa marks 50 years since the Soweto Uprising - 50 years since a generation rose up and demanded access, dignity, and the right to shape their own future.

Under the theme "RESET@50 - The Future Calls", the MICT SETA reflects on the journey from 1976 to 2026 through five pillars:
🔹 Remember - Honouring the legacy of 16 June 1976.
🔹 Reflect - Examining the barriers to economic inclusion that persist today.
🔹 Reset - Building the skills and mindsets needed for a digital future.
🔹 Rise - Celebrating the achievements and resilience of South Africa's youth.
🔹 Reimagine - Unlocking opportunities in the digital economy for every young South African.

The struggle of 1976 was for the right to learn.
Our commitment in 2026 is to ensure that right translates into real skills, real opportunities, and real economic participation.

The future calls. We are listening.

As we reflect on an extraordinary three days at the and Expo, we take a moment to revisit where it all began; the opening address by our CEO, Mr. Matome Madibana.

Mr. Madibana set the tone from the very start, unpacking the vision behind the Symposium and reinforcing the critical role of collaboration, innovation, and future-focused thinking in shaping South Africa's digital future.

He challenged us to move research beyond theory - evolving ideas into practical, scalable solutions that drive real social and economic impact. With ICT as a catalyst for transformation across sectors including agriculture, mining, and food security, his message was anchored in building a more connected, inclusive, and innovation-led nation.

He also spoke directly to the importance of youth empowerment, entrepreneurship, and bridging the digital divide through localised solutions built for African realities.

The charge was clear: a future-ready South Africa will be built through collective action, bold innovation, and partnerships that turn ideas into lasting impact.

To every delegate, speaker, Research Chair, student, and partner who showed up and contributed - thank you.

The energy you brought to CPUT Bellville Campus made this event truly memorable. 🙏🏾

See you Soon!

As we drew closer to the official close of the , Day 3 featured yet a pivotal panel discussion titled “Financing Innovation: Funding, Incubation and Scaling 4IR Start-Ups.”

The session focused on the economic engine of the innovation ecosystem, bringing together capital allocators, national development agencies, and corporate innovation leaders to explore how funding pipelines and support structures can better enable South African tech entrepreneurs.

Speakers emphasised the importance of blending financial investment with technical and in-kind support, while also addressing South Africa’s growing need for skills financing, apprenticeships, and work-integrated learning (WIL) programmes to strengthen the digital economy and support SMME growth.

The session reinforced a clear message: a thriving 4IR ecosystem depends on aligned funding, skills development, and collaborative partnerships that enable innovation to scale meaningfully.
