ENOUGH ALREADY!
Career advice can be infuriating. Most adults have no idea what they were born to do, and some are still trying to find a passion, never mind follow one. Joining the world of work is simple, but not easy. Here’s how we can help:
Know yourself
To find meaningful work, you need to figure out what’s important to you. But that doesn’t mean you have to sit and ponder life’s deep, unanswerable questions. Self-awareness begins with understanding your strengths, interests, and personality. Our app has plenty resources to get you started.
Know your opportunities
Would you rather read about career options or experience them? South Africa’s favourite companies have teamed up with us because you’re in high demand. Engage with them by attending one of our interactive career expos or gain work experience by applying for real opportunities on the FutureMe app.
Develop your skills
Skills pay the bills. The good news: you already have more skills than you think. The better news: we’ll help you build on your strengths and work on your weaknesses. Use FutureMe Online to identify which skills you need to thrive in the world of work. Attend a FutureMe boot camp or gain work experience and put them into practice.
Sign up for FutureMe Online. It’s the best.
Welcome to the Future

Use it to develop new skills, to celebrate progress with like-minded people, and to poke fun at life. Watch this video…

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.
