• The NYDA recognises that young people in South Africa struggle to access information upon which to make informed decisions about their lives and their futures, and developed a comprehensive Career Guidance programme to deal with the increased amount of young people that are in need of Career Guidance information.

• Start Here Campaign – runs February of each year to assist matriculates, this is in partnership with MERSETA - having matriculated but not knowing which steps to take afterwards young people are keen to seize opportunities but unaware of where and how to start looking; hence ‘Start Here’: it provides young people with a “Start Here” point on their path towards finding a sustainable livelihood. It involves an an outreach to youth in rural areas to provide them with the career information as groups and as one on ones.

• “My future my career” a partnership with Prime Stars the Nedbank Foundation, and Ster-Kinekor Cinemas young people from less advantaged schools are taken to cinemas to watch various careers, experts /role models across the various fields speak about their experiences and advice young people on subject choices, career pathing and opportunities available.

• All 14 NYDA Branches also offer continuous career guidance to schools and youth walking into the Branches throughout the year.

• The National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) identified a need to support young people who did not pass matric due to failing four or fewer subjects by developing a National Senior Certificate (matric) re-write project. The project started in 2010 and it is targeting leaners who have failed four or fewer subjects namely English First Additional Language (FAL); Mathematics Physical Science and Accounting ( in the year 2008, 2009 and 2010). Through this initiative the young people were offered tuition and learner support to prepare them to pass the NSC examinations.

• In 2011 - Star Schools was the contracted service provider through the tender process and they implemented the project on behalf of the NYDA. The project was implemented in 10 centres in the four provinces namely; Eastern Cape, KwaZulu Natal, Gauteng and Western Cape. The project did not perform well in the first year, there was a huge drop out rate of 40% (initially enrolled 2000) youth, and final results were not good.

• 1n 2012 – the project was implemented with Star Schools and the following results were achieved:

• 3040 learners enrolled , 6% dropped out • 2870 learners wrote.• The project covered all 9 provinces but classes were centralised in two centres; Braamfontein

and Vaal.• A wider subject choice was offered over and above the initial choice of subjects learners could

upgrade for example other subject like geography, economics, Business Studies• Eight distinctions were achieved overall
