Choosing a Career

Choosing a career can be a challenging, and sometimes even daunting decision - one that can create uncertainty, pressure and anxiety. But with the right guidance, resources and support, this important task can also open up a host of exciting possibilities.

In this issue of IOL Career Choices 2022, we take a look at the IIE MSA’s recently launched School of Education; the University of the Western Cape’s postgraduate degree options that are aligned with the ethos of graduate employability; and how to turn your passion into a career with a CA(SA) qualification. And because we live in a world of 4IR, head on over to Swivel.com - a virtual platform that is open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day and is 100% free for all users, both locally and internationally, who are looking to study in South Africa.

Designed to be useful, this digimag also features great advice from our Brandstories team - drawn from their own high school and career experiences. There’s study hacks for matrics, the difference between internships and learnerships and how to figure out which is best for you, five skills you’ll need to become a journalist, and more.

Take your time to decide your future. We hope that our stories and advice help make the decision a little easier to navigate.
