As South Africans, we are all acutely aware of the fact that the unemployment rate has become a societal scourge. According to statistics released by Trading Economics, the unemployment rate in South Africa increased to 26.7 percent in the three months to March of 2016.
One of the reasons for this is that there is an urgent need for trained and qualified people in a number of industries. In addition to this having a job may not be enough. Due to the ever-evolving job market, retaining a job has become a challenge. Unless people strengthen their qualifications, they are facing the harsh reality of becoming redundant in their position. It is within this context that the critical importance of having a higher education qualification has been thrown into focus.
The higher education experience is a rich and rewarding one that can help a young or mature student in a number of ways. Not only does higher education expose you to a curriculum tailored to get you industry-ready, but also a range of experiences that equip you with essential life skills. The type of training that you receive in the context of higher education helps you to learn the art of collaboration, the principles of business etiquette and how to raise your earning potential. It ultimately equips you to make a meaningful contribution to the economy of the country.
