The WorkReady Gen Z Programme, was launched by the Wits Student Representative Council (SRC) in collaboration with the Wits Counselling and Careers Development Unit (CCDU), this week.
The Programme hopes to provide a bridge
between education and the job market, in an effort to address the unemployment crisis.
The Programme has initiated an online course, to equip University students with essential work-readiness skills and is now available for free on the Wits University’s Ulwazi platform.
Speaking at the launch, Dan Kabongo, Postgraduate Representative of the SRC, said “this course is designed to give students practical advice and tools to succeed in the workplace. It aims to close the gap between academic knowledge and the realities of the job market.”
The programme covers three main areas, job-hunting essentials, My First Job Series and Skill-Building Exercises.
