“What does it entail and when does the Applications process begin?”(Vygotsky’s Theory of Child Development)
The CAO sees the application process as a journey that starts at home, meanders along and has a number of milestones and Information Kiosks along the way. For the majority of South Africans the journey is undertaken without a map or GPS. It is organisations such as the CEIA and CAO, and many others, to serve as the Information Kiosks along the way.

Our GuidanceOur interventions assist the learner in answering the questions: I don’t know what to do / I haven’t made up my mind What career options exist out there? Which of these options are available to me? Where do I get the necessary information about these
career options? What subjects must I have to pursue my dream? What must my results be for me to be considered for
entry? Where can I pursue my dream? How do I apply?
