The main challenge with implementing this programme in our participating schools is the lack of computer facilities at some of them.

However, even where schools have adequate computer facilities, the fact that their internet connectivity is, at best, unstable, is an enormous challenge. MPA will discuss this matter with the relevant district officials of the GDE.

The training started in February 2024. All participants will benefit from micro credentialing.

This programme is structured so that the educators first work through it online and then take the learners through it at pre-scheduled times.

PluggedIn is a career success platform designed by Standard Bank.

The platform allows learners to access innovative career assessments, learn their strengths, gain insight into their personalities, and identify a career path best suited to them.

It is an amazing platform, and there is nothing comparable in South Africa. In addition to career path assessment and guidance, it also gives learners access to many short courses for which they can achieve micro credentials. The platform also assists with subject choices, shows all the careers in a particular field, where the subjects can be studied, and provides bursaries that can be applied for.

Yenza trained the LO educators online on 19 February 2024 at Katlehong SOS and Mpilisweni SOS.

We hope to make this platform available to all our participating schools.
