Frequently Asked Questions
Did you know that the first ever computer bug was discovered by computer scientist, Grace Hopper in 1947? The computer she was using was 16 metres long and 2.4 metres high, so it took her a long time to figure out that a moth — an actual bug — was the cause of the problem. She sellotaped the insect into her diary, which you can read if you ever visit the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington D.C.
Before we start looking for bugs, please check if there’s a solution to your problem on this list of frequently asked support questions:

The Skills Crisis
South Africa’s youth unemployment rate is over 60% — the highest in the world. Worse, nearly one in three young people (15–24) are not in employment, education, or training¹.
The odds are stacked against young South Africans. But career awareness remains limited to traditional jobs, and youngsters aren’t developing the soft skills and self-awareness that employers expect. As a result, many young people have unrealistic career expectations, leading to disapointment when they take their first steps into the world of work.
