Introduction
Deciding on a career path is one of the most important, yet challenging decisions every young adult faces. Once they leave school, they do not know what their next steps are: “What am I interested in? What do I want to study? What do I want to become? And where do I start?”
The Young Minds Programme, certified by Stellenbosch University, is specifically designed to equip school-leavers and young adults with the necessary skills, knowledge, tools, and mindset to be better prepared for the next chapter in their lives – the world of study and work, as well as life in general. This is achieved by helping them define their goals, strengths, and direction before enrolling in tertiary courses / degrees, embarking on a fixed career path, as well as building the career and life of their dreams.
Participants learn about, among other core themes, Business Management, Entrepreneurial Thinking, and Personal Mastery, and gain access to life coaches and job shadowing guidance, as well as undergo psychometric testing. It is a truly personalised learning experience structured to help students design the career and life they desire and deserve – and kickstart their professional journey with the utmost confidence.
Who is this course for?
This programme is specifically designed for matriculants who want to prepare for a successful career, students who feel unsure about their current study choices, or young graduates who want to create their own career opportunities or move into corporate business.
