Overview
How we help high school learners
Choosing subjects and study directions at 15 or 17 is hard, especially when the advice you get is based on what other people did. Career Ignite uses professional assessments and one-on-one counselling to show you your own strengths, interests and realistic pathways, so you choose on purpose.
Challenges we solve
- Having no idea what career to choose
- Choosing subjects because friends did
- Loving many things and not knowing how to narrow down
- Not knowing which careers actually exist in South Africa
- Worrying about marks, funding and admission requirements

FAQs
Questions people ask before booking
Is the assessment a test I can fail?
No. There are no right or wrong answers, only your patterns of interest and aptitude.
Can I do it online?
Yes, the assessment is completed online and your feedback session can be in person or virtual.
What if my parents want something different for me?
That happens often. Your report gives you evidence to have that conversation properly, and we include a parent debrief.
I'm already in Grade 12, is it too late?
Not at all. Grade 12 guidance focuses on applications, alternatives and a plan for the year after school.
