IARC Academic Tutoring Team is super proud to have helped facilitate the DMT Colleges CAREER EXPO 2026, hosted by Desmond Mpilo Tutu๐ŸŽ“

We hosted Grade 9 learners to explore trade skills, discover vocational training opportunities at college, connect with institutions on career planning, career opportunities after studying, financial assistance and workplace opportunities.

The planning committee envisions learners taking up studies at colleges where they can learn trade skills early and gain practical experience which will make them easily employable or start up their own businesses.

Thank you note from Peace Maker NC founder for the generosity and compassion shown by Spur Steak Ranches, Apache Spur Steak and Grill, and IARC. It always warms our hearts to see businesses seek to close the gap of inequality in the communities they operate within.
