Director’s message

Welcome!

In this guide you will find articles from a diverse range of authors working in the private and public sectors who have been invited to provide you with food for thought in relation to the rapidly evolving world of work. One of the major shifts we are seeing is a growth in values-based decisions among graduates considering their career choices.

In addition to plenty of useful practical information for your career toolkit, in the 2020 guide you will find labour market analysis on previous graduates, a prediction on the workplace you could expect to navigate by 2030 and top tips to think about before you sign off on your job offer. As always, the guide includes an extensive employer directory to guide those seeking formal employment at graduation.

Wishing you every success as you navigate the many career choices available to you! Yours in career development,

Who are we?

BEST CAREERS SERVICE FOR 10 YEARS

The Careers Service was established by the University of Cape Town in order to ensure that the issue of “employability” is front and centre of student awareness. The Career service team offers a range of services that speak to the successful student learning journey which ideally culminates in either formal employment, a range of entrepreneurial pursuits, postgraduate study or indeed any other career pathway that the confident UCT graduate might choose.
