Overview

How we help university students

A qualification opens doors, but it does not choose one for you. We help students translate their studies into specific roles, industries and employers, then build the CV, LinkedIn presence and interview skills that convert applications into offers.

Challenges we solve

  • Enjoying your degree but not knowing which job to target
  • Doubting whether you chose the right qualification
  • No work experience and no idea how to get it
  • Applications and internships that go unanswered
  • Nerves about graduate programme assessments and interviews

FAQs

Questions people ask before booking

I think I chose the wrong degree. Can you help?

Yes. Counselling explores whether the issue is the qualification, the intended career or the environment, before you make an expensive change.

When should I start preparing for graduate programmes?

Most South African graduate programmes open 9 to 12 months before intake, so preparation in your second-last year of study is ideal.

Do you help with internships and vacation work?

Yes, application strategy and documents cover internships, vacation work and learnerships as well as permanent roles.
