After receiving over 8000 entries from students all over the country in 2021, the Gradstar Team selected a CPUT student as a runner up of the Top Ten Most Employable Students in South Africa.
Third-year Bachelor of Geomatics student in the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, Simphiwe Ngubane, was selected as a runner up of the ‘Ten of the Finest’ in the GradStar Awards.
Simphiwe said he was incredibly honoured and privileged by the achievement.
Now in its sixth year, the DHL GradStar Awards recognise the most employable full-time students in the country and is the only programme of its kind where thousands of students enter in order to be recognised by the top employers in the land.
