Today we bring you another important discussion that supports your journey through the Post-School Education and Training (PSET) system.

 

The PSET landscape in South Africa is rich with opportunities, and the DHET’s Career Development Services (CDS) aims to empower individuals with accurate, reliable, and up-to-date information. Today’s topic focuses on I did not make it, now what?—a key area that affects many young people as they transition from school, pursue further education, or enter the world of work.

 

Not everyone passes Grade 12 the first time—and that can be devastating to a learner who had their sights set on pursuing post-school and education and/or employment opportunities. Today, we remind our listeners that your matric results do not define your entire future. The DHET proposes?? multiple pathways for young people who need a second chance.

 

We will unpack options such as rewriting subjects through the Second Chance Matric Programme, pursuing occupational qualifications at TVET colleges, or developing workplace skills that can still lead to strong careers. This episode encourages resilience, planning, and exploring alternative opportunities within the PSET system. No young person should feel stuck—there is always a next step.
