Swivel.com - an immersive, engaging, always available, online careers expo
WELL-KNOWN for hosting its live Rocking Future Career Expos at schools nationwide, where Grade 12 learners are exposed to some of South Africa’s leading private colleges, 3RC is no stranger to innovation. In 2020, the company quickly pivoted to create its Rocking Future Virtual Career Expos.
This move enabled the company to gain unique insights into the decision-making processes and employment desires of this new generation of students, taken from a wider variety of communities and age groups. Furthermore, the virtual extension of 3RC’s offering also served to broaden the company’s reach into the country.
This completely levelled the playing field for more students around South Africa, who previously did not have access to information around their career and tertiary education options. In 2022, 3RC launched Swiwel.com, a virtual platform that’s open 365 days per year, 24 hours per day and is 100% free for all users, both locally and internationally, looking to study in South Africa. Swiwel.com relies on world-class technology and is available across all devices, allowing entrants to virtually experience the exciting education opportunities from wherever they are.
