Through the career centre we aim to develop and support our students in their journey through tertiary studies and prepare them for employment. A perfect example of this is Pearl Boshomane. She is the first Varsity College student to be accepted into Avusa's internship programme. Avusa has, to date, only accepted interns from the major journalism tertiaries - Rhodes and Wits which makes this a gigantic win for Varsity College and we’re proud of Pearl’s achievements.
Pearl, a 2010 Diploma in Journalism from Varsity College (Sandton ) graduate, had this to say, "The two years I spent studying journalism at Varsity College were two years well spent. The practical work we did – from working as mini-journalists on the campus paper to becoming its editorial team – and the incredible, experienced lecturers were of great help when it came to journeying into the real world of journalism. I’ve been working as a junior journalist for a prominent media house and I find that the things I learned at VC during my time there were more than just words in a book and words from a lecturer – they’ve become part of the tools I use in the real, busy and hectic world of journalism." 
We wish Pearl every success in her future career!
