BACKGROUND OF OUR BLOG

-

 

INTRODUCTION:

In today's rapidly changing world, many learners find themselves struggling to make informed decisions about which field of study to pursue at tertiary institutions. Recognizing this challenge, a group of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) students has come together to create this blog, dedicated to addressing the issue of career choices and development. Our goal is to provide learners with the necessary guidance to make appropriate course selections, thereby minimizing the need for course changes or prematurely quitting their studies.

In the age of digital advancements, it is crucial not to be left behind or have access to inaccurate information. As technology continues to evolve, being well-informed about the opportunities offered by the job market becomes increasingly important. All too often, students graduate from secondary school or complete their studies without a clear understanding of their future careers, passions, or drives. However, it is essential for learners to recognize that the foundation of career choices begins with the seemingly simple act of selecting subjects in grade 8. As the saying goes, "One either fails to plan or plans to fail." Through this blog, we aim to provide learners with crucial factors to consider before making subject choices, ultimately reducing the number of high school graduates who enter tertiary institutions without a clear roadmap for their future.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this blog is to shed light on the diverse career options available at tertiary institutions. Moreover, we strive to provide relevant and up-to-date information to learners, life skills teachers, and community members. Our blog serves as a valuable resource, offering guidance on various careers, including their requirements, duration, different programs offered by universities, and insights into the job industry.

SLOGAN:

Discover your dream career!

MISSION:

To provide valuable information and resources to help individuals navigate the myriad of career choices, job opportunities, and their corresponding requirements. By doing so, we aim to empower individuals to find a fulfilling and rewarding career path that aligns with their passions and goals.

As a child, I always wanted to become a teacher. I imagined myself standing in front of the learners reading a storybook.
