Career guidance is essential for the information and support learners need to make well thought-out choices about their post-school lives.

The objectives of IkamvaYouth's career guidance programme are to:

• address learners’ immediate concerns
• promote self development
• develop career development skills
• help learners make well thought-out decisions

Workshops are held twice a month at each library, and cover a wide range of career guidance and life skills subjects, including:

• information about specific fields of study or careers
  
• study methods
