While some matric pupils may already have their study timetables in place for their final examinations, others may be picturing the free time they’ll be enjoying as a result of not having to go to school. Lawrence Wordon, managing director of leading workforce management & productivity solutions company, Kelly advises Grade 12 students against taking their end-of-year results too lightly.

“It is worthwhile to note that many employers seek Candidates with some form of tertiary qualification. And while the looming year-end examinations are what most grade 12 pupils will have in their sights, it is perhaps a good idea for matrics to look beyond this point and consider what educational path they plan to follow after they’ve left school,” recommends Wordon.

With that said, I urge those with dreams of a successful career to find the inspiration they need to work hard and get good marks. Furthering one’s studies and earning a recognised qualification can be advantageous for matrics to advance their chances of building a successful career,” adds Wordon.

By undertaking the simple strategies that follow, matrics can take their year-end results to the next level, thereby ensuring they’ll get into university or college:
