The right challenge, at the right stage.

Each programme runs at two developmental levels. The distinction goes beyond activity difficulty: it changes the depth of facilitation, the complexity of what learners are asked to do and the focus areas.

Programmes serve schools in Cape Town and surrounding regions. Planning begins with your grade group, learner numbers, learning objectives, timing and venue.

GRADES 6–7

Build the foundations.

Early career awareness activities focused on exploring different work roles and industries. Learners are encouraged to ask questions and think about what kind of work interests them — without the pressure of subject choices yet.

GRADES 8–9

Go deeper. Take ownership.

Structured workplace and industry exposure designed to sit alongside the Grade 9 subject-choice process. Learners visit real working environments, interact with professionals, and work through a facilitated reflection exercise that makes the visit educationally useful rather than just a day out.

What learners do: sample activities

  • Structured workplace observation
  • Career interaction session
  • Industry problem-solving task
  • Professional communication exercise
  • Subject-choice reflection workshop

Learning outcomes

Connect learning with workplace skills. Explore how different roles contribute to an industry.

Programme formats

One-day programmes include full-day facilitation, activities, reflection, materials, lunch and refreshments. Overnight programmes add accommodation, all meals, facilitation across both days and an evening session.

One-day: R1,100–R1,450 per learner. Overnight: R2,400–R3,800 per learner. Final pricing depends on group size, category, venue and distance. Transport is excluded unless specifically agreed.
