Spaan and MIE teamed up on 23 October 2025 to deliver an insightful job-readiness session to University of Pretoria students.
Stepping into the world of work can feel overwhelming — especially for students preparing to take their first steps into professional opportunities. That’s why Team Spaan recently visited the University of Pretoria for an interactive and insightful session focused on employability, job readiness, and building career confidence.
In partnership with MIE (Managed Integrity Evaluation), the session explored what it takes to stand out in today’s competitive job market. Students gained practical insights on creating strong applications, presenting themselves professionally, and navigating the transition from studying to working life.
The Importance of Verification
A key discussion was centred on verification — an essential part of the hiring process that many job seekers overlook.
Spaan highlighted how being verification-ready (with validated ID, qualifications, and personal information) helps candidates:
- Build credibility and trust with employers
- Speed up the recruitment and onboarding process
- Demonstrate transparency and professionalism
- Stand out in roles where trust and compliance are critical
With support from our partner MIE, students also gained a deeper understanding of background checks and screening procedures, and how these verifications align with employer expectations.
Key Takeaways From The Session
- Craft a compelling, professional application
- Be proactive in ensuring your documents and qualification details are up to date
- Verification is a differentiator, not just a requirement
- Confidence grows when you are prepared and informed
The day was filled with meaningful learning, empowerment, and renewed readiness for the world of work. These conversations reflect Spaan’s ongoing mission: to equip job seekers with the tools, confidence, and verification support needed to unlock real employment opportunities.
