Rocking Future opens study paths

THE INITIATIVE PROVIDES VALUABLE EXPOSURE TO NEW POSSIBILITIES

- NAMHLA MONAKALI

Learners at two southern suburbs schools received career guidance and study information during recent visits by the Rocking Future programme, a national initiative aimed at preparing school leavers for life after matric.

Rocking Future visited Norman Henshilwood High School in Wynberg on Thursday 12 February and Sans Souci Girls’ High School in Newlands on Monday 16 February, connecting learners with tertiary institutions, training providers and career resources.

Organised by 3RC, a programme within Rocking Future that has been running for 26 years, focuses on helping South African learners make informed decisions about their future studies and employment options.

According to organisers, many learners feel uncertain about career choices due to limited exposure to opportunities and the country’s high youth unemployment rate.
