Unisa online - Take a girl child to work day project

Ms Makhanya explained how to plot your path towards achieving your career goals, starting with knowing who you are as the first step in determining what you should do after school. Knowing what you are passionate about, what your abilities are, what the available options are and what resources you have available will help you to plot your career path.

Ms Matjila explained Unisa’s model of tuition, namely open distance learning (ODL) and the difference between residential universities and an ODL university.

Dr Ravhudzulo connected deeply with the girls’ living experience by entering into their world and age and demonstrating how they should think about and respect themselves and their goals to live a fulfilled life. She gave many examples from her own life, such as her journey from the time she left school with only Grade 3 until being a doctor today. She told the girls that they were created for a purpose, and knowing that purpose will assist them in developing themselves to become who they were meant to be. "Challenges are there to be overcome. You must believe in yourself and lead the change you want to see," Dr Ravhudzulo said.
