Career guidance begins with self-awareness. Before students choose subjects or careers, they need to understand their strengths, interests, values, and aspirations. Discover why self-awareness is the foundation of meaningful career guidance and how schools can empower students to make confident, informed, and purposeful decisions from Grade 9 onwards.

Students do not disengage from school only because of financial challenges. A lack of purpose, belonging, emotional support and connection to future possibilities can also influence their participation. A Square Foundation helps adolescents develop self-awareness, emotional resilience and career direction through its SEL Myself Career Guidance Programme.
