The DHET recognises that moving from the structured environment of school into post-school education, training, or the world of work can be challenging for many young people.

This transition requires not only academic readiness, but also emotional preparedness, life skills, and awareness of available support services. Learners must adapt to new learning environments, increased independence, and different expectations.

Career Development Services play a key role in supporting this shift by providing guidance on study skills, time management, learner support services, and realistic career planning to improve access, retention, and success in PSET.

The DHET - Khetha Digital Media Campaign forms a vital part of South Africa’s national education and skills development strategy. It is positioned within the broader educational ecosystem where the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) shares responsibility with the Department of Basic Education (DBE) to serve the learning and skills development needs of South Africans at different stages of their academic and career journeys.

The campaign builds on a tradition of public education and empowerment through multiple media platforms, particularly targeting high school learners, graduates, job seekers, and out-of-school youth to provide accessible career guidance, bursary information, internship opportunities, and entrepreneurial support.
