7. Setting the tone Career guidance is the key to economic development DEFINITIONS OF FINANCIAL PLANNING • As youth unemployment and poverty becomes the most serious problems facing the country, we are facing a growing shortage of appropriate skills • Whatever the 2018 National Senior Certificate candidates' personal choices are post-high school, better career guidance could play a vital role during the next four months of this academic year • The shortage of scarce skills, an oversupply of low-demand skills, high tertiary dropout rates, and too many idle youth, are all symptomatic of poor career planning • At the forefront of career guidance delivery are school guidance counsellors, Life Orientation educators, student support staff at universities and TVET colleges, student recruitment officers at universities, employment service practitioners at labour centres and career guidance practitioners at the various youth advisory centres Source: Siwaju Consulting

8. Setting the tone Career guidance is the key to economic development Career guidance is about creating a better economy that would work for the working young people. Therefore imparting the right skills to the youth, whether a good degree or the right apprenticeship, will propel young future leaders to the top Parents • There is no doubt that career development starts at home. The role of parents in influencing the career decision-making process of their children is of paramount importance • The parent’s role is to suggest – not impose. Parents should avoid shooting down their children's’ ideas and unintentionally pressurising children to fulfil parental ambitions, without taking into consideration the child's unique strengths, ability and interests Structured Guidance • Effective career development interventions must begin early in secondary grades and continue into adult years • Without structured guidance activities, learners may drift through high school without learning about all the career opportunities available and without gaining the skills that can help them take advantage of those opportunities Source: Siwaju Consulting
