South Africa has long been facing the challenge of youth unemployment, with studies showing that even South African university and college graduates are having a tough time finding employment.

Once a student graduates with a tertiary education qualification, they receive a certificate which indicates their achievement. However, students at some colleges have not received these crucial certificates.

Tertiary education plays a crucial role in training the next generation of professionals in several disciplines. However, the cost of tertiary education could stop many prospective students from gaining expertise in these industries.
