Supporting Every Step of Your Journey

In today's rapidly evolving job market, making informed career decisions has never been more crucial. Traditional career paths are being transformed by technological advances, while new opportunities emerge at an unprecedented pace. The choices your child makes today – from subject selection to tertiary education – can significantly impact their future success and job satisfaction.

What Other Parents Have to Say

The pressure to follow a traditional university path was intense, but my son always showed interest in working with his hands. SkillsPassport's assessment revealed his strong technical abilities and helped us understand how vocational training could lead to excellent career opportunities. Today, he's excelling in subjects that will prepare him for a Mechanical Engineering course at our local TVET college, with bright prospects in the manufacturing sector. The assessment gave us the confidence to choose a path that truly suits him.

As parents, we wanted to support our daughter's dreams but were concerned about job prospects. The SkillsPassport assessment showed us how her interests in both science and design could lead to exciting careers in fields like UI/UX design. The clear breakdown of university requirements and future job opportunities helped us make an informed decision about her university applications.
Bongani Mthembu
Mpumalanga
My wife and I were torn between pushing our son towards traditional subjects versus letting him explore his creative interests. SkillsPassport's scientific assessment showed us how his natural abilities could actually combine both paths. The future career insights helped us understand how creative and technical skills will be valuable in tomorrow's job market. It was the best R399 we've spent on his education.
Abdul Rahman
KwaZulu-Natal
With university applications looming, we were overwhelmed by all the different course options. SkillsPassport's tertiary assessment helped my son narrow down his choices based on his current subject performance and interests. The detailed qualification recommendations saved us countless hours of research and gave us confidence that he's applying for courses where he'll truly excel.

Myth 1: "University is the only path to success"
Fact: While universities offer excellent opportunities, TVET colleges and other institutions provide valuable qualifications that are highly sought after by employers. Many TVET graduates secure well-paying jobs and successful careers, particularly in technical and specialized fields. South Africa currently has a high demand for skilled technicians, artisans, and specialists who typically graduate from TVET colleges.
Myth 2: "TVET colleges are only for students who perform poorly academically"
Fact: TVET colleges are specialized institutions focusing on practical, industry-relevant skills. Many top-performing students choose TVET colleges specifically for their hands-on training and direct pathway to specific careers. These institutions often have state-of-the-art facilities and strong industry partnerships, making them a first-choice option for many career-focused learners.
Myth 3: "You need to study what your parents studied or join the family business"
Fact: Career choices should be based on individual strengths, interests, and current market opportunities. While family tradition can be valuable, the rapidly changing job market means new careers are emerging constantly. Making informed choices based on personal aptitude and future trends often leads to better career satisfaction and success.
Myth 4: "Certain qualifications are 'useless' in the job market"
Every qualification develops valuable skills that can be applied across different industries. What matters most is how you leverage your qualification and the additional skills you develop. Many employers value transferable skills like critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving that come from various study paths. The key is understanding how your qualification connects to different career opportunities.
Myth 5: "You can't change your study path once you've started"
Many successful professionals have changed their study direction or career path. South African tertiary institutions often have credit transfer systems, and many qualifications have common first-year courses. Additionally, modern careers often combine different fields of study. It's more important to start your tertiary journey than to wait for the 'perfect' choice, as skills and knowledge from any study path can contribute to your ultimate career success.
