Our Career Guidance services are tailored to provide you with the insights, tools, and support necessary to unlock your full potential and pursue a career that resonates with your aspirations and values. Whether you're a grade 9 student seeking guidance on subject choices, a grade 12 student looking to explore or confirm study options, a recent graduate exploring career pathways, a seasoned professional seeking fresh challenges, or someone in transition searching for direction, we're here to assist you at every step of your journey.
SUBJECT CHOICE (GRADE 9)
Help with Subject Selection
The foundation of informed and successful career choices lies in selecting the appropriate subjects for Grades 10 through 12. These choices directly impact the range of tertiary programs available, as most programs have recommended and required school subjects. For students to make well-informed decisions about their Grade 10 subjects, they should have a clear understanding of the career path they intend to pursue after successfully completing Grade 12. However, many students find themselves uncertain about their future career options at this stage.
The objective of our subject choice guidance is to assist individuals in gaining clarity regarding their interests, values, personality, and aptitude, and how these factors align with potential future career paths.

To find and follow a career path, an individual needs to gain awareness, explore and prepare.
