Technology-Driven Career Guidance

Why it matters: Many learners lack reliable access to career guidance tools, particularly in rural or underserved areas, limiting their ability to make informed decisions about education and career paths.

Our approach: We harness technology to centralise and personalise career information, making it easier for learners to explore options, compare pathways, and make confident, informed decisions.

Standardisation and Simplification of Career Information

Why it matters: Learners often face confusion when planning their future because career information is scattered, outdated, not standardised, and disconnected from what they need to make informed choices. Research also indicates that the effectiveness of career guidance as part of Life Orientation in schools is unclear. Without clear standards or coordinated support, many learners struggle to meet application requirements or plan their next steps with confidence.

Our approach: H1A provides clear, verified, and standardised career and qualification information to help learners make informed choices. We achieve this through digital tools and in-person initiatives, such as workshops and school outreach, ensuring that all learners, regardless of their location, can access reliable, easy-to-understand guidance to plan for an unpredictable future.

Bridging the Digital Divide in Career Development

Why it matters: Many learners in South Africa, especially those in rural or under-resourced areas, face barriers related to digital access and connectivity. These challenges prevent them from using online career guidance tools and limit their ability to access the support they need to plan their future.

Our approach: H1A designs solutions that work for all learners, regardless of their access to technology or data. Our tools are mobile-first and low-data, and we complement them with offline resources and activation workshops delivered in schools and communities. This ensures that every learner has a fair chance to receive meaningful career guidance and support, no matter where they are.
